Dear colleagues,
There is an open postdoctoral position in an infectious disease lab at Houston Methodist Hospital Research Institute. Please see the
announcement below.
Postdoctoral Fellow position - Houston Methodist Research Institute (HMRI)
We are seeking a structural biologist/biochemist to join the Department
of Pathology and Genomic Medicine at Houston Methodist Hospital Research
Institute, Houston, TX, USA. We employ a multidisciplinary approach to
dissect the mechanisms of bacterial signaling pathways and understand the
implications of such signaling pathways in the bacterial pathogenesis. We
use a variety of genetic, biochemical, biophysical, structural, and mouse
infection methods to identify the novel cellular processes with the
long-term goal of targeting these processes for antibiotic development.
Some of the key areas we are currently investigating include the
bacterial signaling systems, and the bacterial sensory system for metal
and carbohydrate acquisition. The group uses a wide range of techniques
that include X-ray crystallography, SAXS, bacterial genetics, biochemical
and transcriptome methods, and animal infection studies.

Qualifications and Experience
Qualified candidates will have (or be about to obtain) a Ph.D. degree.
The candidate is expected to have experience in protein chemistry and
crystallography. Ideally, the candidate will be familiar with biochemical
techniques and analyses. The ability to work in a team, good
organizational and communication skills in English as well as initiative,
flexibility and good learning ability are also desired. For more
information, please contact: mkumarasw...@houstonmethodist.org
