A postdoctoral research position is immediately available in the
laboratory of Dr. Eric R. Schreiter, at the University of Puerto Rico -
Rio Piedras Campus, to study the effects of S-nitrosylation on protein
structure and function at the molecular level. Applicants should possess
a PhD in a relevant field (chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology,
structural biology, etc.) and ideally have experience in structural
characterization of macromolecules using x-ray crystallography.
Experience in protein biochemistry and other biophysical techniques for
characterizing proteins is also highly desirable. Excellent
communication skills, motivation and the ability to work as part of a
team are required.
The PI's laboratory is equipped with state of the art instrumentation
for macromolecular x-ray crystallography, including a Rigaku RU-H3R
X-ray generator with a CCD detector and X-stream 2000 low temperature
system as well as high-throughput crystallization robotics. The Rio
Piedras Campus of the University of Puerto Rico is its flagship campus
for basic science research and is only two miles away from the Medical
Sciences Campus, accessible by train. It is located in San Juan, Puerto
Rico, which offers a warm climate year-round and an abundance of outdoor
activities in close proximity. Puerto Rico uses both Spanish and
English as official languages, but laboratory business is conducted
primarily in English.
Interested individuals should submit a CV, a summary of research
achievements, and names of three references to:
Dr. Eric Schreiter (eschrei...@vmail.uprrp.edu)
