A postdoctoral position is available in the Protein Structure Section of
the Macromolecular Crystallography Laboratory (MCL), National Cancer
Institute (NCI), Frederick, MD, USA. The main area of interest of PSS
covers structure-function relationship of helical cytokines and their
receptors. PSS also has an extensive program of investigating proteolytic
enzymes such as HIV and HTLV proteases, Lon, sedolisin, and VirA, as well
as antiviral lectins and proteins involved in tumor suppression and
translation regulation. MCL is fully equipped with all tools for protein
_expression_, purification, crystallization, and data collection, with
assured access to the SER-CAT sector (22) at the Advanced Photon Source,
Argonne National Laboratory.
The position is open to a recent Ph. D. (less than 5 years since the
award of doctorate) with strong background in molecular biology, protein
_expression_ and purification, and protein crystallography. The minimum
annual starting stipend at NCI is $46,200 for new graduates, with
additional increases based on previous postdoctoral experience. NCI
provides full health insurance, as well as relocation benefits.
Interested candidates should apply to Dr. Alexander Wlodawer,
Macromolecular Crystallography Laboratory, National Cancer Institute,
Frederick, MD 21702, USA; Phone +1-301-846-5036; e-mail
