Dear all,
You are invited to apply for a postdoctoral position in the structural biology and functional proteomics lab of McArdle Cancer Institute of University of Wisconsin at Madison. We are interested in understanding the structural basis and mechanisms of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) holoenzyme biogenesis, decommissioning and substrate recognition in diverse signalling networks and cellular organelles and assembly. Please refer to the lab webpage below for recent progresses and advances on the projects: https://mcardle.oncology.wisc.edu/xing/publications.html. PUBLICATIONS: - Xing Lab | University of Wisconsin Madison<https://mcardle.oncology.wisc.edu/xing/publications.html> mcardle.oncology.wisc.edu PUBLICATIONS: Wu C-G, Chen H, Guo F, Yadav VK, Mcilwain SJ, Rowse M, Choudhary A, Lin Z, Li Y, Gu T, Zheng A, Xu Q, Lee W, Resch E, Johnson B, Day J, Ge Y, Ong IM ... The lab is equipped with a state-of-the-art setup for x-ray crystallographic studies, including crystallization robot, advanced imaging system for FRET study in mammalian cells, and in-house bioinformatic tools for rapid data analysis and prediction. The researcher will work in a multidisciplinary setup, including cell biology, biophysics, proteomics, and protein biochemistry, in addition to protein crystallography. Candidates should hold a PhD in protein biochemistry, crystallography or single particle cryo-EM. Experience in proteomics and/or cell biology is highly appealing. The candidates should be highly motivated, goal-driven, and dedicated individuals who can think critically and work both independently and collaboratively with good verbal and written communication skills. It is also important that the candidates are creative in problem solving and have a strong desire to seek answers to questions related to the molecular basis of cellular processes. Postdoctoral training grant is available for eligible candidates. This is a full-time position with a starting salary of $47,500 – 50,000 per year depending on skills and experience. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled. To apply: Please send a cover letter, CV and the names and contact information for three references to Dr. Yongna Xing, 1111 Highland Avenue, McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research, WIMR II 6451, University of Wisconsin-Madison-Madison, WI 53705.
