Positions are available for a postdoctoral fellow and graduate student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
These positions involve the study of structural mechanisms of molecular recognition by proteins. Projects in the lab include: (i) structural/biophysical studies of protein-protein and protein-ligand recognition by antibody mimics and bacterial lipocalins, (ii) structural studies of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase, (iii) structural/biophysical studies of the interplay between protein dynamics and stability. Prior experience in crystallography is NOT required for either of the positions. Strong background in molecular biology techniques, biophysical and computational methods will be considered a plus. Requests for further information and applications (including letter of interest, resume and contact information of 3 references) should be sent by email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Edwin Pozharski, PhD, Assistant Professor Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences School of Pharmacy, University of Maryland 20 Penn Street, HSF II 553 Baltimore, MD 21201 410 706 1180 (office) 410 706 1124 (lab) 410 706 5017 (fax)
