A structural biology lab has now several openings. This lab conducts
two aspects of research using X-ray crystallography and other
biochemical approaches. One is to understand how a limited number of
transcriptional factors regulate a large amount of genes. Our model
is that two or more transcription factors work together and further
recruit other protein modification factors to form high-order
regulatory assemblies on gene promoters. Another is to study how the
extracellular signals transfer to a specific set of transcription
factors. This involves ligand-protein and protein-protein interaction
and the proteins associated with cell membranes. For some details,
please see http://life.xmu.edu.cn/teacher/HTML/1760.html. Those who
have Ph.D in any biology or chemistry disciplines are welcome to
apply. Experience in protein biochemistry and/or cell biology will be
in higher priority. Training in crystallography will be big plus.
Xiamen island is the most beautiful city, and Xiamen University has
one of few best university campus over China. It is so comfortable to
live that it grows a big foreigner community. Please see www.xmu.edu.cn/english
for university and http://www.amoymagic.com for Xiamen.
Successful candidates will be provided with a standard package from
Xiamen University including convenient low-cost apartment, medical
insurance and family assistance. If interested, please send your CV
and contacts of 3 referees to Dr. Aidong Han through a...@xmu.edu.cn.
Thank your attention.
