[ccp4bb] Postdoc position at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio

[Yogesh Gupta]

My research group at UT Health San Antonio
 (UTHSA) is looking for a creative
and self-motivated Postdoctoral Fellow scientist to study the structures
and mechanisms of mRNA modification enzymes. We will use X-ray
crystallography, cryoEM, and enzyme biochemistry to address basic
mechanistic questions and develop strategies for rational drug development.

[Yogesh Gupta]

*Postdoctoral Fellow position at UT Health San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas*



The laboratory of Dr. Yogesh Gupta (http://ccri.uthscsa.edu/YGupta.html) at
University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio (UT Health San
Antonio™) is seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic scientist with
strong interest in structural/mechanistic studies on protein-nucleic acid
assemblies that play critical roles in leukemia and pediatric sarcoma
pathogenesis. We combine various structural and chemical biology tools
(X-ray, NMR, cryo-EM, AUC, SAXS) with *in silico*, and cell-based methods
to address basic mechanistic questions, and exploit this knowledge for
small molecule cancer drug discovery.



Our lab is physically located within the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research
Institute  (Greehey CCRI) at UT Health San
Antonio.  We have full access to an extensive array of core institutional
facilities (Biochemistry core
, CIDD ,
Research core labs ) located
within the Department of Biochemistry and Structural Biology, the Joe R.
and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine, and Greehey CCRI.  Applicants
with demonstrated experience in protein biochemistry, structural biology,
or cancer biology with experience in cell imaging, tissue culture, FACS,
mice, Cas/CRISPR knock out, and a keen interest in mechanistic/structural
studies are preferred. Candidates are expected to possess strong
organizational, interpersonal skills, and ability to work as part of a
team. Candidate should hold (or soon expect to hold) a PhD or equivalent
degree in a related discipline. Prior experience in X-ray crystallography
is desirable but not required.



Salary is competitive. San Antonio offers affordable cost of living and
there is no state income tax in Texas.
