A postdoctoral position is available in Dr. Yang Gao’s lab (http://yanggaolab.blogs.rice.edu/) at Rice University, Houston. The Gao lab utilizes structural biology techniques to investigate the molecular mechanisms of DNA replication and repair. We employ cryo-electron microscopy, x-ray crystallography, and various biochemical and biophysical approaches to characterize how enzymes and motors work together to accomplish these elaborate processes (see Gao’s recent publications https://science.sciencemag.org/content/352/6291/1334.short, https://science.sciencemag.org/content/363/6429/eaav7003.abstract and https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=y296jScAAAAJ&hl=en). The postdoctoral fellow will investigate structures and mechanisms of important helicases in genome replication and repair, with cryo-electron microscopy as the major technique.
Applicants should have a Ph. D. degree in biochemistry, structural biology or related field. Experiences with mammalian protein expression, cryo-electron microscopy, and computational biophysics are preferred but not required. Please contact Yang at [email protected] for more detail. Best, Yang ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1
