University of Wisconsin-Madison

1111 Highland Ave
Madison, WI 53705

A postdoctoral position on structural biology is available to investigate the 
mechanisms and functions of phosphatase signaling complexes and their disease 
mutations in cancer and intellectual disability. We combine cryo-EM, x-ray 
crystallography, cell biology, system biology, biochemistry, computational 
biology, and bioinformatics to gain critical knowledge on complex phosphatase 
signaling network dictated by both allosteric structured cores and versatile 
signaling motifs. The research is performed in a highly multidisciplinary 
setting with basic scientists with expertise on Cryo-EM, biochemistry, cell 
biology, bioinformatics and chemical biology. We are well equipped for 
multidisciplinary research, such as powerful GPU computers, liquid handling 
crystallization robot, and live cell imaging system. In addition, our lab is 
conveniently located near multiple shared facilities. Our research is built on 
collaborations with more than 10 groups from US and Europe as well as dynamic 
collaborations on campus in both basic and clinical research. UW-Madison has 
highly collaborative research environment that easily establish novel 
collaborations.

We are seeking productive, and motivated individuals with excellent 
organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills. We expect our 
candidates have strong expertise in cryo-EM, x-ray crystallography, and protein 
biochemistry. We also expect our candidates feel comfortable to apply system 
biology and in-house bioinformatic tools and work both independently and by 
collaboration toward personalized medicine for phosphatase diseases.



The starting salary for promising candidate will be $52,000 or above.



Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position 
is filled. To apply: Please send a cover letter, CV and the names and contact 
information for three references to Dr. Yongna Xing via email:
