Description: An NIH-funded POSTDOCTORAL position is immediately available to study the structure and function of microbial sensory rhodopsins (see Luecke et al. 2001 Science 293:1499-1503; Sudo & Spudich 2006 Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 103:16129-16134; Spudich 2006 Trends Microbiol 2006 14:480-487. The position requires a recent Ph.D. in one of the sciences relevant to structural biochemistry. Applicants must be highly motivated and must have demonstrated experience (i.e. relevant publications) with 3D protein structure determination, especially recombinant protein expression, purification, and crystallization. Experience with membrane proteins is an advantage. Salary will be commensurate with experience and will be in addition to a fringe benefit package. Our lab in the Center for Membrane Biology http://www.uth.tmc.edu/cmb/ is fully equipped for molecular biology, protein chemistry, and protein crystallography. In addition, our University is part of the Molecular Biology Consortium that operates its own high flux MAD-capable X-ray beamline at ALS Berkeley, California.
