Post Doctoral Positions in Membrane Protein Structure and Function at
the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
The research group of Dr. Anirban Banerjee at the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) is seeking candidates for postdoctoral fellows to
start from September, 2012 or later. The broad interests of the lab
are in membrane protein structure and function. We will combine
structural techniques such as macromolecular crystallography with
biophysical and biochemical methods such as reconstitution based
biochemistry, electrophysiology together with synthetic chemistry to
investigate the structural bases of the mechanisms of a number of
membrane proteins including channels and transporters.
The lab has state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. We have
dedicated periodic access to the 23-ID beamline at the APS, for
crystallographers at the NIH.
The DC Metro area is a wonderful place to live, the weather is
pleasant and is a vibrant international community. In terms of
scientific opportunities, the NIH is absolutely unique in bringing
scientists from a virtually all corner of biomedical sciences in one
campus. The Cell Biology and Metabolism program is part of the
National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). Our
lab will also have an affiliation to the National Institute of
Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
The candidates should hold a Ph. D. degree, must be motivated and a
have strong background in biochemistry or structural biology.
Experience with protein expression, purification and biochemical
characterization is required. Prior experience in membrane protein
biochemistry or insect/mammalian expression systems will be added
advantages.
Interested candidates can send an e-mail of interest to anirbn at
gmail dot com with a CV and a summary of previous research experience
and interests.
