University of Massachusetts Medical SchoolPost Doctoral Associate in Worcester,
Massachusetts
A postdoctoral position is available in the Schiffer laboratory at UMass
Medical School to work on structural biology of proteins related to viral
infections and drug resistance. UMass Medical School is home to a newly built
state-of-the-art cryo-EM facility, with a vibrant research community in
structural biology. To learn about the Schiffer Lab and research program,
please visit:

Applicant must have (or expect to obtain shortly) a Ph.D. in Biochemistry,
Biophysics, or a related field. Previous experience and excellent skills in
protein crystallography are required, including: protein
expression/purification, protein crystallization, data collection, structure
determination and analysis (and familiarity with the latest generation software
in the field). Additional experience in the following areas is a plus: small
molecule binding to proteins, molecular dynamics simulations, and enzyme
kinetics. Crystal structures will include potential co-crystal structures with
small molecules, nucleic acids and protein-protein complexes. The candidate is
expected to complement crystallographic data with biochemical and biophysical
assays, work closely with a diverse interdisciplinary research team, and be
motivated to acquire new experimental and computational skills – including
potentially cryo-EM.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
A Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry, Biophysics, or a related field
Proficient in Protein Crystallography (protein crystallization, data
collection, structure determination and analysis)
Experience in protein expression and purification
Ability to work in a multidisciplinary team environment
