Structure-function studies on protein-RNA complexes A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the group of Dr. Graeme L. Conn at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta GA, USA. Our lab uses X-ray crystallography and complementary biochemical and biophysical methods to address macromolecular structure, interactions and function. The post is available on an on-going project investigating host cell protein-viral non-coding RNA complexes. Our laboratory is located in recently renovated space in the Department of Biochemistry where we are one of four groups with diverse research interests that form a critical mass in the areas of X-ray crystallography and structural biology. We have access to state-of-the-art crystallization and in-house X-ray data collection facilities as well as dedicated synchrotron beamtime at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) SER-CAT beamline.
Interested applicants must have a Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular biology or structural biology and experience working with RNA would be an advantage. X-ray crystallographic experience is strongly preferred but not essential. The ideal candidate will be highly motivated, possess excellent communication skills and the ability to work in a collaborative and team-oriented environment. To apply, please e-mail a cover letter including a brief statement of experience and scientific interests, a CV with a list of publications and contact information for three references to: gc...@emory.edu. Informal enquiries are also welcome at the same email address. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the post is filled.
