[ccp4bb] Multiple postdoctoral position at the University of Illinois
Hello, I have two different NIH funded post-doctoral positions open in my laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The first position is part of our program project on studies of phosphonate biosynthetic enzymes (see Nature 459, 871-4; PNAS 107, 17557-62). The second opening is for work on the biosynthesis of ribosomally encoded natural products (see Science 311, 1464-67; Chem Bio. 19, 1411-22; PNAS 109, 4425-30). Both projects will involve significant biochemical and microbiological components in addition to structural biology. Applicants should hold a PhD degree and have experience in most aspects of protein biochemistry and structural biology. A background in Chemistry and/or Microbiology is not required but is preferred. Equipment necessary to carry out all of the structural biology is available in my lab. In addition, we also share one half of one floor of the Institute for Genomic Biology, containing all of the infrastructure for natural products isolation and characterization. The University of Illinois is a member of LS-CAT at Argonne National Labs (located roughly 2 hours away) and ample synchrotron access is available. Interested applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a summary of past research experience and accomplishments, and 3 letters of reference (e-mail is preferred). -- Satish Nair Professor, Department of Biochemistry Department of Chemistry Institute for Genomic Biology and Center for Biophysics and Computational Biology University of Illinois 600 S.

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY AT UIUC-INSTITUTE OF GENOMIC BIOLOGY An NIH funded postdoctoral position is available starting in Fall 2008 as part of a multi-disciplinary effort at the newly established Institute of Genomic Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (see http://www.igb.uiuc.edu/research/novel_antibiotics.html). The candidate will be involved in a multi-group effort to determine the crystal structures of assemblies involved in the biosynthesis of novel antibiotics. A number of well characterized, soluble proteins are already on hand for structural studies. A Rigaku R-AXIS IV++ mounted on a H3R (Osmic mirrors, inverted Phi axis, X stream cryogenics) is housed immediately adjacent to our laboratory. In addition, UIUC is a member of the Life Sciences Collaborative Access Team (www.ls-cat.org) and ample synchrotron access is assured to carry out this work. Candidates with a strong backgrounds in protein purification and crystallization is preferred and lack of experience in de novo structure determination methods is not a liability. Please e-mail or send a full-resume and three letters of reference to the address below.

[ccp4bb] Crystallographic Post-doctoral Position in Champaign-Urbana, IL
An NIH funded post-doctoral position is available to work as part of a multi-disciplinary effort on structure determination of proteins involved in antibiotic biosynthesis (Science 311, 1464-1467). Candidate should have a background in standard protein purification, synchrotron data collection, SAD/MAD structure determination, refinement and validation. Our lab is equipped with an RAXIS IV+ +/H3R/Osmic/X-stream system. In addition, the University of Illinois is a member of LS-CAT (Beamlines 21-IDD, IDF, and IDG at Argonne) and we are routinely allocated up to a total of fourteen days of insertion device line access per 3-month run. Salary will be commensurate with experience. Urbana-Champaign is a friendly, energetic, midwestern college town with a very low cost of living, many student amenities, etc. We are located 2.5 hours from Chicago, 2 hours from Indianapolis and 3.5 hours from St. Louis. Please send a CV and 3 letter of reference to: Dr. Satish Nair Department of Biochemistry University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 600 S. Mathews Ave Urbana, IL 61801 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
