Dear all, I would like to draw your attention to several postdoctoral position openings in my group.
Thank you, Jochen Zimmer ******************* Postdoctoral position openings Biosynthesis, secretion, and function of extracellular polysaccharides Several postdoctoral positions are available immediately for highly motivated individuals with a strong interest in structural and functional analyses of polysaccharide secretion systems. The Zimmer lab integrates structural biology with glycobiology and biophysics to delineate how cell surface polysaccharides are synthesized, transported to the cell surface, and assembled to perform diverse biological functions. Postdoctoral positions are available to study the biosynthesis of biofilm polysaccharides, ABC transporter-mediated complex carbohydrate secretion, as well as plant cell wall assembly. The projects combine structural biology and biochemistry with polymer physics to correlate how enzymatic functions influence material properties. The incumbents will benefit from a diverse and highly collaborative research environment at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, state of the art cryo electron microscopy and macromolecular crystallography facilities, as well as an outstanding infrastructure for biophysical characterizations of membrane transport processes. Excellent molecular biology skills are essential and experience in structural biology techniques is advantageous. Interested individuals should send a brief cover letter, a curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references to Jochen Zimmer ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>). The University of Virginia is located in Charlottesville, just 2 hours from Washington DC and 90 min from Richmond. Charlottesville is a vibrant and international town that offers an exceptional quality of life with ample outdoor activities within the city and nearby Shenandoah National Park. ******************************* Jochen Zimmer, D.
