Hi everyone
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position to work on crystallography of proteases. Experience in molecular biology, protein purification and crystallography is required. Experience with membrane proteins would be an asset. The candidate must be within five years of attaining a PhD degree. This is an opportunity to join a lab experienced in the expression and crystallization of various enzymes, including soluble coronavirus proteases (*Nature Comm* 2020, J Med Chem 2021) and membrane proteins (*Science, * (2003)*. *301:616-620), *PNAS *(2007) 104(3):750-4, http://www2.biochem.ualberta.ca/LemieuxLab/). The University of Alberta, located in Edmonton, Alberta (Canada), is home to a large and interactive community of biomedical scientists, and facilities for structural biology are excellent. Our department provides interaction with other structural biologists including crystallographers. The Canadian Light Source (CLS) synchrotron facility is located a short drive away. We also routinely collect data at remote facilities: CLS and SSRL. In addition, the Membrane Protein Disease Research group provides a dedicated forum for membrane protein research at the University of Alberta (http://www.mpdrg.com). Edmonton, having a population of over 1 million, offers a cosmopolitan environment with world-class performing arts, sports, culinary and recreational opportunities. In addition, the city’s proximity to the Rocky Mountains including the towns of Jasper and Banff is an additional bonus. Salary is commensurate with training and experience at the CIHR standard rates. A medical and dental benefit package is included with salary. The University of Alberta hires on the basis of merit. We are committed to the principle of equity in employment. We welcome diversity and encourage applications from all qualified women and men, including persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and Aboriginal persons.
