The Page Laboratory at Brown University has an opening for a highly motivated postdoctoral research scientist to undertake structural analysis of signaling complexes, with a focus on the interactions between phosphatases, kinases and their regulatory proteins. Most studies typically employ a combination of x-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy and SAXS. Applicants with a strong background in biochemical techniques and structure determination are encouraged to apply.
The Page laboratory is housed in a 105,000 sq. ft. research laboratory in Providence, RI. The laboratories are open-lab-space facilities and allow for close interactions with the adjunct structural biology and molecular biology groups at Brown University. Recent upgrades to the Brown University structural biology infrastructure include new X-ray crystallography instrumentation (Rigaku FR-E+ SuperBright with VariMax-HF ArcSec optics, a Saturn 944 CCD detector and ACTOR robotic crystal mounting system), a BIOSAXS-1000 small angle X-ray scattering instrument, and the addition of an 850 MHz NMR spectrometer. Providence, RI, is located on the coast between Boston (45 min.) and New York City (3 hours). Starting date, salary and project details are negotiable.
