Postdoc position in Structural Characterization of a membrane-associated enzyme Lookingfor an outstanding and highly motivatedindividual to start immediately in a postdoctoral position to study structureand mechanism of a membrane-associated enzyme involved in co-translationalmodification. The project aims to elucidate the mechanistic and structuralbasis for the enzyme function using a multi-disciplinary approach comprisingX-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and biochemical methods.The candidate will focuson cloning, overexpression, purification, biochemical characterization,crystallization, and X-ray crystal structure determination of multiple proteinsubunits and protein-substrate complexes. The candidate should havea recent Ph.D. degree (in biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology orrelated area) with a strong publication record. In addition, the candidate isrequired to have substantial experience in protein expression specifically inyeast, membrane protein purification and reconstitution and proteincrystallography. Proficiency is required in troubleshooting and optimization ofcloning, overexpression and reconstitution of membrane proteins protocols. Ahigh level of motivation and good communication skills are required. Competitivesalary and fringe benefit will be provided. Requests for more information aswell as application that should include a cover letter stating your scientificinterests and goals, CV and contact information for 3 references can be sent toAssociate Professor Smita Mohanty at [email protected].
