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 directly send to dzaj...@liai.org
