Postdoctoral Position Available Laboratory of Professor Robert M. Stroud, Ph.D. ( http://www.msg.ucsf.edu/stroud/index.htm) Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics University of California San Francisco, USA
SUMMARY DESCRIPTION: Structural biology of HIV-host interaction The Stroud Laboratory seeks a postdoctoral fellow to pursue the structural characterization of protein-protein complexes between HIV-1Integrase (IN) and Vpu and their human interacting partners. The HIV initiative in Stroud lab is part of larger effort in UCSF to understand HIV-host interaction ( http://harc.ucsf.edu/). This position offers the opportunity to work in highly collaborative and intellectually stimulating environment. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to: 1. Express and purify HIV-host protein-protein complexes 3. Crystallize and determine the macromolecular structure of these proteins and protein-protein complexes START DATE: Preference will be given to candidates who can start immediately REQUIREMENTS: Ph.D. in biochemistry, biophysics and structural biology. Experience with expression of recombinant proteins in variety of hosts (E.coli, SF9 etc.) and purification of proteins to a high degree of homogeneity are required. Prior experience with protein crystallization and structure determination is strongly desirable. Experience with biochemical assays and analyzing protein-protein interactions is also desirable. APPLICATION: Please send your CV/Resume describing your relevant skills and a list of three references to: stroud...@gmail.com
