A Postdoctoral fellowship is available to study the structure and function of microbial sensory rhodopsins. The position requires a recent Ph.D. in one of the natural sciences relevant to structural biochemistry. Applicants must be highly motivated and must have demonstrated experience (i.e. relevant publications) with 3D protein structure determination, especially recombinant protein expression, purification, and crystallization. Experience with membrane proteins is an advantage. Salary will be commensurate with experience and will be in addition to a fringe benefit package. Our laboratory in the Center for Membrane Biology, Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of Texas Medical School at Houston is fully equipped for molecular biology, protein chemistry, and protein crystallography. In addition, our University is part of the Molecular Biology Consortium that operates its own high flux MAD-capable x-ray beamline at ALS Berkeley, California.
