Peking University, College of Life Sciences seeks to recruit dedicated postdoctoral fellows to carry out structural and functional investigation of cell surface receptors in nervous systems. The successful candidates will focus his/her research on elucidation of molecular mechanism with which these receptors play the part in neuronal development and the immune function in central nervous system (CNS). These include their functions in axon guidance, synapse formation and neuron-glia interaction that mediates key immunological protection for CNS. The project is the close collaborative efforts between Professor Jia-huai Wang's structural biology lab and Professor Yan Zhang's neuroscience lab.
Position requires PhD. degree with a good background in molecular biology, protein chemistry and crystallography. Highly motivated individuals are encouraged to apply. The position will be based at Peking University in Beijing, China, with opportunity of doing some research at Harvard Medical School in Boston. Peking University is one of the leading academic institutions in China. The College of Life Sciences is equipped with the state-of-art facilities in structural biology for X-ray crystallography, NMR, EM and single molecule studies. The well-known beautiful campus is located at Chinas most advanced academic center with more than 100 research institutes and a dozen highly respected universities. Historically Peking University also has a large international community and attracts students and postdoctoral fellows from all over the world. Interested candidates please email a cover letter, CV, 3 reference names, as well as email address and telephone number to Drs. Jia-huai Wang or Yan Zhang at [email protected] and [email protected].
