UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOLOGY & BIOPHYSICS
POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLAR One postdoctoral position is available immediately in Dr. Rongsheng Jin’s laboratory at the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, UC Irvine, and will remain open until filled. The new postdoctoral scholar is expected to participate in one of two major research projects: the structural and functional characterization of ion channels, receptors, and signaling molecules at synapses, and the mechanism of action of bacterial virulence factors in their cellular context. Our laboratory employs a multidisciplinary approach that combines X-ray crystallography, SAXS, electron microscopy with the more traditional approaches of biochemistry and biophysics. We also have built long-standing collaborative relationships in the areas of cell biology, electrophysiology, toxicology, and animal studies. The successful candidates should have a Ph.D. degree, high motivation, and strong background in one or more of the following research areas: biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, and structural biology. Experience in insect cell and/or mammalian cell culture would be desirable, but is not required. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. To apply for this position please send cover letter, curriculum vitae, and names of three references to Rongsheng Jin (r....@uci.edu) “The University of California, Irvine is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to excellence through diversity.”
