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
