An NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available immediately for a highly motivated individual with a strong interest in structure and function of membrane transport proteins in the laboratory of Dr. Jeff Abramson at the Department of Physiology, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). The project aims to elucidate the structure and function from members of the Na+/Glucose cotransporter family (SGLT). These proteins perform essential roles in physiology and are implicated in a number of diseases most notably infectious diarrhea, diabetes and some cancers. The Lab is well equipped for structural biology including state-of-the-art crystallization robotics. We also have full access to the Molecular Biology Institute^Òs (MBI) X-ray core facility featuring a Rigaku FRD generator using the RAXIS IV++ and Quantum 4 CCD detectors. There is a large computational cluster and monthly access to the ALS synchrotron in Berkley, California. UCLA has a strong and highly collaborative macromolecular crystallography program in place with 6 faculties and 50 students, staff and postdocs. Los Angeles is a cosmopolitan city with 330 days a year of perfect weather. Sunny beaches and hiking trails are just a few minutes away and skiing within hours. There are also number of museums and playhouses within walking distance from the university. The successful applicant will hold a PhD and have ample knowledge in modern macromolecular crystallographic methods as well as experience in data collection and processing. Knowledge of membraneprotein expression/purification and/or mammalian cell culture would be a plus. The candidate must possess excellent written and oral communication skills, and will be expected to work in a diverse and highly collaborative environment.
