POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY
We are looking for a qualified and highly motivated biochemist/
protein crystallographer with 0-2 years of postdoctoral experience to
work on the structural characterization of antibody-antigen complexes
involved in infectious diseases and allergy.
The project is a collaboration between the Division of Vaccine
Discovery and Cell Biology and the candidate should show a general
interest in immunology.
Experience in protein expression (both bacterial and insect cell
systems), purification, crystallization and structure determination
is highly desired. Experience in working with antibodies is a plus.
The structural biology lab is well equipped with state of the art
robotics and imaging systems (Art Robbins Phoenix, Rigaku Desktop
Minstrel), a xray source (Oxford Diffraction Xcalibur PX Ultra) and
access to SSRL for remote data collection.
The position is available immediately and funded by the NIH for at
least 2-3 years.
Applications, including the name an addresses of 2 references can be

The La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology is located in UC San
Diego's Science Research Park and is a world-class facility covering
145,000 square feet. Our space provides an open laboratory setting
that encourages La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology's highly
collaborative research environment. Specialized research rooms are
suited for all aspects of molecular and cellular biology and feature
larger lab areas that can support critical technologies and
infrastructure. These technologies include highly sophisticated
instrumentation for analysis at the atomic, genetic, protein and
cellular levels - all of which are critical to advancing
understanding of immune system disease.
