We are seeking a post-doctoral researcher to join my research group at UCLA. The lab focuses on the structural studies of challenging targets: membrane protein complexes and channels from eukaryotes (yeast and several parasites) and seeks to characterize their architecture and molecular mechanisms of action combining X-ray crystallography, SAXS and cryo-EM when necessary and possible.
We will exclusively consider applicants with proven experience in protein crystallography, cloning, protein expression and purification. Previous experience with membrane proteins is highly desirable but not required. Candidates should hold or expected to soon hold a PhD degree in a relevant area (Biophysics, Structural Biology) and have excellent social and communication skills in english (very important). Interested candidates should send a CV and personal statement together with the name and addresses of three references. I will be attending the ACA-2013 meeting in Hawaii this coming week and will present a poster presented from 5:30-07:30pm on Sunday, July 21. Motivated individuals are invited to directly contact with me. Pascal F.
