Post-doc in Peersen Laboratory Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Colorado State University
Post-doctoral fellow position in structural biology and biophysical studies of RNA virus replication. The projects are focused on the structures of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases, functional complexes involved in RNA synthesis, and the assembly of membrane anchored replication centers formed by single stranded RNA viruses. The project will build on recent studies of viral elongation complexes to further our understanding of polymerase function and replication fidelity. Prior studies are described in Gong & Peersen, PNAS 107:22505, Hobdey et al., J. Virology 84:8072, and Nadig et al., PNAS+ (in press). Previous experience in X-ray crystallography, RNA biochemistry, and/or fluorescence methods would be advantageous. Job Requirements: --------------------------- The position requires a Ph.D. at time of hire with prior experience in protein biochemistry, molecular biology, and/or biophysical methods. Applications should be received by August 20, 2012 for full consideration. Interested individuals should submit a CV, statement of research and career interests, and contact information for three references at http://www.natsci.colostate.edu/employment/bmbPdoc/ CSU is an EO/EA/AA employer.
