Dear All, I am looking for a talented scientist to join my lab as a postdoctoral fellow to work on the structure and mechanism of tubulin modification enzymes (please see details below).
Many thanks, Antonina *Postdoctoral Fellowship at the NIH – Structural Biology * A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit headed by Dr. Antonina Roll-Mecak to work on structural studies of tubulin modification enzymes. Research in the Roll-Mecak lab focuses on understanding how tubulin posttranslational modification enzymes generate the chemical complexity of cellular microtubules and how these modifications tune the behavior of motors and microtubule associated proteins (see for instance Szyk et al., *NSMB* 2011, Szyk et al., *Cell* 2014; Garnham et al., *Cell* 2015; Yu et al., *JBC *2015). We use a combination of biochemistry, structural biology, cell biology and single-molecule fluorescence techniques and a member of this lab will have an opportunity to use these different approaches to answer fundamental problems in microtubule biology. For more information about the lab and living in the Washington D.C. area, please visit: http://dir1.ninds.nih.gov/ninds/RM_Lab/ Self-motivated Ph.D. graduates with a strong publication record and expertise in molecular biology, biochemistry, X-ray crystallography or electron microscopy will be considered. Please send a CV, a one-page research experience summary and contact information of three references to [email protected] Please write “Fellow- structural biology” in the subject header.
