Post-doctoral Associate ? Macromolecular Crystallography
Life Sciences Institute, Ann Arbor Michigan
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral research fellow to
join our laboratory at the Life Sciences Institute, University of
Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We are interested in proteins that
mediate the formation, maintenance and plasticity of synapses, in
particular synaptic adhesion molecules. Research projects involve the
study of proteins using x-ray crystallography, biochemical,
biophysical and chemical genomics techniques. State-of-the-art
equipment is available in a modern research setting. Synchrotron
radiation is available within driving distance at the Advanced Photon
Source (APS) and the University of Michigan is a member of LS-CAT at
APS. The initial appointment will be for one year, renewable for up to
three years contingent upon satisfactory progress and mutual
agreement. The position is available immediately.
Qualifications:
Applicants should have received a Ph.D. degree in a field relevant to
structural biology within the past 3 years and have a strong
publication record. Applicants with experience in cloning, bacterial
and insect cell cultures, expressing and purifying recombinant
proteins, macromolecular crystallization, diffraction data collection
and structure determination of macromolecules are preferred. However,
highly motivated recent graduates with a strong background in protein
biochemistry and interest in learning crystallography are also
encouraged to apply. Good written and oral communication skills in
English are essential as well as the ability and desire to work as
part of a highly motivated team.
To apply please e-mail the following to [email protected] no later
than September 30, 2009: CV, contact information for 3 references
(address, phone and e-mail), list of your experimental expertise
relevant to this position and a research statement describing your
past research experience and future goals (1-2 pages). J1 visa
sponsorship (but not H1) is available for non-US nationals.
For questions regarding the position, please contact Dr. Gabrielle
Rudenko at [email protected].
