A postdoctoral position is available immediately at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in the Korostelev Lab (http://www.umassmed.edu/bmp/faculty/korostelev.cfm).
The focus of research in the lab is on translation and translation regulation. We use X-ray crystallography to study RNA and ribonucleoprotein complexes (most notably, the ribosome). The lab is part of the RNA Therapeutics Institute, a vibrant and interactive research community (http://www.umassmed.edu/Content.aspx?id=84958&linkidentifier=id&itemid=84958). We seek a motivated person who has recently received a PhD. Experience with purification, crystallization and determination of macromolecular structures is essential. Expertise in the RNA field is a plus. Please submit 1) your CV (including a publication list) 2) an outline of your previous work 3) emails of at least two references to the following email address: andrei dot korostelev at umassmed dot edu
