Two NIH funded post doc positions available in North Chicago, IL USA Motivated and creative postdoctoral applicants are sought by the Correll laboratory to study how site-specific chaperones and their assemblies mediate ribosome biogenesis. The studies will exploit our in vitro assays that mimic a key early step in biogenesis of the small ribosomal subunit: proper docking of the U3 snoRNA with its associated protein onto the pre-rRNA. The research will employ a variety of biophysical and structural techniques to investigate the molecular and structural basis of (1) how these chaperones and their assemblies ensure proper U3-pre-rRNA docking, and (2) once docked, how the target site is selected for the subsequent cleavage events that initiate small subunit biogenesis.
Rosalind Franklin University has outstanding in-house X-ray facilities, including a staff researcher and crystallization robot. We have guaranteed beam time at the nearby third generation synchrotron at Argonne National Laboratories. This University is situated in a suburban location only an hour North of the excitement of the music, art, theater, food and sports of the city of Chicago. Rosalind Franklin University is an Equal Opportunity Employer. To apply send your curriculum vitae, including the names, email addresses and work phone numbers of three references to: Carl C.
