Two Structural Biology postdoctoral positions are available in my lab to work on (1) the structural aspects of proteins and complexes involved in a prokaryotic RNA interference pathway, and (2) the structure and conformation dynamics of riboswitches in gene regulation. Representative publications can be found in PNAS 2007; 104(43):16844-9, Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2008 ;15(10):1076-83, Science 2012;336(6089):1726-9, and Structure 2012; 20(9):1574-1564. The lab is equipped with extensive crystallographic and nucleic acid biochemistry resources, and is within walking distance to the synchrotron beamlines at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS).
These positions are funded by NIH. Candidates should have (or expect) a Ph.D. in Structural Biology, with solid experience in protein purification, crystallization, phasing, and structure refinement. Prior experience with nucleic acid and/or baculovirus expression system are desired. For more information, please contact Asc.
