UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA MEDICAL SCHOOL, TWIN CITIES
POSTDOCTORAL POSITION in MACROMOLECULAR CRYSTALLOGRAPHY is available
immediately in the laboratories of Karen H. Ashe, Ph.D. (Department of
Neurology;
<http://www.neurology.umn.edu/neurology/faculty/hsiaoashe/home.html>http://www.neurology.umn.edu/neurology/faculty/hsiaoashe/home.html)
and Carrie M. Wilmot, Ph.D. (Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology
& Biophysics; http://biosci.cbs.umn.edu/BMBB/faculty/Wilmot.C.html) to
determine the X-ray crystal structures of molecular assemblies linked to
the progression of Alzheimer's disease (Lesne et al. (2006) Nature 440,
352-7). The candidate must possess a Ph.D. in biochemistry, chemical
biology or biophysics, and demonstrate a strong commitment to
macromolecular crystallography. Candidates with a rigorous background in
protein purification from source material, particularly involving antibody
affinity chromatography, and expertise in crystallization, are encouraged
to apply. Send curriculum vitae, and the names of at least two referees, to
Dr. Wilmot, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Superb facilities are available for x-ray data collection
(<http://cbs.umn.edu/bmbb/structbio/facilities/crystallography.html>http://cbs.umn.edu/bmbb/structbio/facilities/crystallography.html,
http://www.mbc-als.org/) and for computation
(<http://www.msi.umn.edu/bscl/>http://www.msi.umn.edu/bscl/). The
University of Minnesota is very highly rated among American Public Research
