POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY
We are looking for a qualified and highly motivated biochemist/protein
crystallographer with 0-2 years of postdoctoral experience to work on
the structural characterization of protein tyrosine phosphatases
involved in T cell signaling regulation.
The project is a collaboration between the Bottini and the Zajonc
laboratories at LIAI and the candidate should show a general interest
in immunology/signal transduction.
Experience in protein expression, purification, crystallization and
structure determination is highly desired. The structural biology lab
is well equipped with state of the art robotics and imaging systems
(Art Robbins Phoenix, Rigaku Desktop Minstrel), a xray source (Oxford
Diffraction XCalibur PX Ultra) and access to SSRL for remote data
collection.
The position is available immediately and funded by the NIH for 2 years.
Applications, including the name and addresses of 3 references can be
directly sent to dzaj...@liai.org.

The La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology is located in UC San
Diego's Science Research Park and is a world-class facility covering
145,000 square feet. Our space provides an open laboratory setting
that encourages La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology's highly
collaborative research environment. Specialized research rooms are
suited for all aspects of molecular and cellular biology and feature
larger lab areas that can support critical technologies and
infrastructure. These technologies include highly sophisticated
instrumentation for analysis at the atomic, genetic, protein and
cellular levels - all of which are critical to advancing understanding
of immune system disease.
