Dear All,
An NIH-funded postdoctoral position on
membrane-integrated
glycosyltransferases is available in
the Zimmer laboratory at the
University of Virginia
(https://jobs.virginia.edu, posting #
0611274). Projects focus on the
biosynthesis and membrane
translocation of natures most
abundant polymers, including
cellulose, chitin, and hyaluronan.
Please have a look at our most recent
publications for further details:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23222542
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22343360
The Zimmer laboratory is part of a
newly created Center for Membrane
Biology
(http://pages.shanti.virginia.edu/Ctr_for_Membrane_Biology/),
which offers excellent resources for
crystallography, EM, NMR, EPR, SAXS,
as well as single molecule
fluorescence microscopy.
Crystallization robotics for
detergent- and LCP-based
crystallization are also available.
The successful candidate should be
highly motivated, have extensive
experience in molecular biology and
protein expression and purification,
be able to work independently while
integrating well in a diverse research
group, and should have at least one
first-author publication in a peer
reviewed scientific journal.
Interested candidates can contact me
directly ([email protected])
and should respond to the
aforementioned posting.
Sincere regards & Happy Holidays,
Jochen
