A postdoctoral position is available for a skilled protein crystallographer interested in challenging projects in the Hurley lab, NIDDK, NIH. We are seeking to understand the structure and function of membrane-associated multiprotein complexes involved in protein and lipid trafficking. Some of these complexes include one or more integral membrane proteins. We offer a superbly equipped facility and an interdiscplinary evironment that encourages skill and career development both within and beyond crystallographic structure determination. The lab integrates techniques from yeast cell biology to reconstitution of membrane trafficking along with structural analysis. See http://www-mslmb.niddk.nih.gov/hurley/index.html for more information.
Experience is required in crystallizing challenging integral membrane proteins and/or multiprotein complexes expressed in eukaryotic systems. Substantial experience in crystallographic data collection, processing, phasing, and refinement is required. Candidates should have less than five years previous postdoctoral experience. Send cv and names of three references to hur...@helix.nih.gov.
