A post-doctoral position is available in Dr. Choi's laboratory at University of Texas Medical Branch for an X-ray crystallographer to study the structure and mechanism of viral replication complexes. We use a combination of X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, protein chemisty, and bioinformatics to determine the structure of viral replication machinery and to develop antiviral therapeutics. Experience in all aspects of X-ray crystallography is required. The X-ray crystallography resources include two X-ray area detector systems, a Phoenix crystallization robot, a Minstrel crystal imaging robot, and an Alchemist liquid handling robot. The cryoEM facility includes two JOEL 200 keV cryoEM microscopes for high-resolution imaging work, FEI vitrobot, and a BSL-3 room for viral and pathogen work. Interested parties should send a CV and a list of 2-3 references to Dr. Kyung (Kay) Choi at 301 University Blvd, 6.614 Basic Science Building, Galveston, Texas 77555-0647, or via e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
