An NIH R01-funded postdoctoral position in G protein-coupled receptor structural biology is available in the Pioszak laboratory in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. The position will involve biochemical, pharmacological, and X-ray crystallographic studies of peptide-activated class B GPCRs. The Pioszak lab is housed in the modern S.L. Young Biomedical Research Center on the expanding medical school campus adjacent to the downtown Oklahoma City area. We have state-of-the-art equipment for protein expression and purification, biophysical characterization of proteins (ITC, DSC, CD), robotic crystallization (ARI Gryphon), and in-house X-ray data collection (Rigaku system), as well as access to synchrotron macromolecular crystallography beam lines.
Appplicants should hold a recent Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Pharmacology, or related area. Experience with molecular biology techniques, protein expression and purification, protein-ligand interaction methods, cell culture, and X-ray crystallography would be an advantage, but experience in all of these areas is not required. Salary to be commensurate with qualifications and experience. To apply, please send a cover letter, CV, and the names and contact information for 3 references to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
