Dear All,
I wish to bring your attention to a crystallographer postdoctoral opening
at Boston University School of Medicine. Please see the job description below.
Thanks,
HC Guo
Postdoctoral Fellow Position Open
Boston University School of Medicine
Department: Physiology and Biophysics
Location: Boston, Mass
URL: biophysics.bumc.bu.edu/faculty/guo/index.html
Start Date: immediately
Duration: 1-3 years
Description: A postdoctoral position is open for highly motivated individuals
to work on biochemical and crystallographic studies of enzymes involved in
post-translational processings and immunity. Some crystals are already
available. The work may involve any aspect of protein purification,
mutagenesis, crystal growth, data collection, model building and refinement.
Suitable candidates will also have the chance to participate in the biochemical
characterization of the proteins. A background in protein
expression/biochemistry and/or x-ray structure determination is prerequisite.
Experienced macromolecular crystallographers are preferred, but highly
motivated recent graduates with a strong background in protein biochemistry and
interested in learning crystallography are also encouraged to apply. The
laboratory is fully equipped for biochemical experiments, and with
state-of-the-art crystallographic facilities. In addition, the National
Synchrotron Light Source at the Brookhaven National Laboratory is only 5-hour
driving/ferry away. Available immediately, applications will be accepted till
positions filled.
