RESEARCH / POSTDOC ASSOCIATE An NIH-funded research position is available in the Tsai laboratory at Baylor College of Medicine to determine the 3D structure, mechanism, and function of ATP-dependent protein quality control machines and related stress-response proteins using protein crystallography and cryoEM/ET. Applicants with a PhD or MSc in biochemistry, molecular/cell biology, or enzymology are encouraged to apply. Demonstrated experience with methods used to express and purify proteins is essential. Prior experience with site-directed mutagenesis, enzymology, mammalian cell culture, and/or model organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and worms, is desired. The successful applicant will join a multi-disciplinary team to investigate stress response mechanisms in human diseases (e.g. AD, ALS, T2D and related metabolic disorders) and host-microbe interactions (e.g. IDs and NTDs). Salary is competitive and is in addition to a generous fringe benefit package. To apply, please send a cover letter with research interests and experiences, a current CV, and contact information for three referees to Dr. Francis Tsai ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>).
* Experience with protein expression and IEX, HIC, SEC chromatography is essential. * * Prior experience in enzymology is an advantage (biochemists). * * Prior experience with tissue culture or model organisms is an advantage (molecular/cell biologists) * Applicants must be able to work independently and as a member of a team. * All applicants with a graduate degree in biochemistry or biological sciences (including non-structural biologists) will be considered. Highly motivated scientists with excellent communication skills are encouraged to apply. Please share this job ad with friends and colleagues. Baylor College of Medicine is an equal opportunity employer. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/CCP4BB, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/
