Postdoctoral Research Fellow position
Biochemistry and Structural Biology of Functional RNAs and RNA/protein Complexes
A postdoctoral scholar position is available in the laboratory of Yunsun Nam,
in the Cecil H. and Ida Green Center for Reproductive Biology Sciences at UT
Southwestern Medical Center to study the mechanisms of post-transcriptional
gene regulation. Our laboratory has several exciting projects related to how
RNA structure changes the destiny of an RNA by altering its function and
specific interactions with proteins. The goal is to determine how
macromolecular recognition and enzymatic regulation are accomplished, using
biochemistry, structural biology, and cell biology. The functional noncoding
RNAs and RNA/protein complexes we study are relevant for normal development as
well as diseases such as cancer, making our mechanistic work also valuable for
therapeutics research. Postdoctoral scholars will have many opportunities to
learn the newest methods in protein and nucleic acid biochemistry and
biophysics, in addition to working in an exciting, fast-evolving field in
biomedical sciences. We use various approaches, including X-ray
crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM),
molecular biology, nucleic acid and protein biochemistry, genomics with
next-generation sequencing, drug discovery, and mammalian cell-based studies.
The postdoctoral fellow will have ready access to the top of the line equipment
and resources necessary for the above approaches. Information on the UT
Southwestern postdoctoral training program and benefits can be found in the
Postdoc Handbook (available online).
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree. Experience in biochemistry
(protein or nucleic acids), cell biology, and/or structural biology leading to
publication in peer-reviewed journals is recommended.
Interested individuals should send a CV, statement of interests, and a list of
three references as a single pdf file to:
