Job Summary: A postdoctoral position in structural biology is available in the Center for the Genetics of Host Defense at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. Using forward genetics, the lab identifies many novel proteins and protein complexes that function in the immune system, metabolism, and the nervous system. Many of these proteins and protein complexes are involved in diseases including immune deficiency, autoimmunity, inflammatory bowel disease, and diabetes. We are interested in using structural biology to develop molecular mechanisms that describe how these proteins and protein complexes function in the context of live cells and mice. UTSW-Medical Center is well equipped with state of the art instrumentation for protein biochemistry, biophysics and structural biology. This includes monthly access the Advanced Photo Source synchrotron beamline, in-house robotic systems for screening and optimizing crystals, various high strength NMR magnets equipped for solution state and solid state NMR, and brand new cryo-electron microscopes supported by the Cryo-Electron Microscopy Facility at UTSW-Medical Center. New Ph.D. graduates are highly encouraged to apply. Please visit the lab website at http://beutlerlab.org/ for more information.
Successful candidates are expected to be highly motivated and well trained in protein biochemistry, or in structural biology using NMR, X-ray crystallography or cryoEM. Please send the following to Betsy Layton at [email protected], with the subject line NEW Postdoctoral Application in Structural Biology: 1) A cover letter explaining your current research interests with a description of why you are interested in the Beutler laboratory. 2) A complete CV with links to all of your publications. 3) A list of three references, with their current work address, title, email address, and phone number. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1
