A crystallography postdoctoral position in RNA Biology is available
immediately in the lab of Prof. Ailong Ke at Cornell University,
Ithaca, NY, USA. Related research projects will employ integrated
approaches to understand the structure and function of RNA and
RNA-protein complexes. The lab is interested in two main research
areas: 1. structure and working mechanism of macromolecular machines
in the eukaryotic RNA processing and degradation; 2. Structure and
conformation dynamics of important RNA and RNA-protein complexes.
Please check Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2008 Oct;15(10):1076-83, and Proc
Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2007 Oct 23;104(43):16844-9 for representative
publications. The lab has extensive crystallographic resources,
including regular access to synchrotron beamlines at the Cornell High
Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) on campus.
Candidates should have (or expect) a Ph.D. or M.D. and should have
experience in protein purification, crystallization, and structure
determination.
