One postdoctoral position funded by NIH is available immediately at the Center
for Membrane Biology, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The
University of Texas Houston Medical School (http://www.uth.tmc.edu/cmb/). The
fellow will focus on structural determination of important membrane proteins
involved in lipid metabolism and signaling. The fellow will also work with
other lipid experts in the center for structural and functional
characterization.
The ideal candidate should be a self-motivated individual and have a recent PhD
degree in structural biology or biochemistry. Decent experiences with standard
molecular biology technique, protein crystallization and structural
determination approaches are expected.
The laboratory locates in the Texas Medical Center campus which provides an
excellent environment for academia and research. The lab is fully equipped for
protein x-ray crystallographic study, including a Graphon LCP crystallization
robot, a Rigaku rotating anode X-ray home source and immediate access to the
Berkeley ALS beamline 4.2.2 in the framework of the molecular biology
consortium.
To apply or request further information, please contact: Dr. Lei Zheng (E-mail:
[email protected]). The application should include a current resume and the
names and addresses of three referees.
