Postdoctoral Position in Mechanistic & Structural Enzymology at the University of Iowa The Dey lab in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Iowa seeks to recruit a self-motivated postdoctoral researcher with experience in mechanistic and structural enzymology. The successful candidate will be responsible for studying the mechanism of enzymes involved in one of the research areas of the lab: methanogenesis; organosulfur metabolism; mammalian oxygen sensing. The lab uses a combination of biochemical, structural, and spectroscopic techniques to investigate enzyme catalysis. Previous experience in structural biochemistry and enzymology would be valuable. This position provides the opportunity for broad training in protein expression, crystallization, kinetics, spectroscopy, genetics, and molecular biology. Candidates must have their Ph.D. by the beginning date of the appointment in Biological Chemistry or a related discipline (Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Biophysics, Microbiology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biochemical, and Biomedical engineering). The successful candidate will have strong experience in protein X-ray crystallography and/or enzymology. A significant publication record is an advantage. The candidate must have the ability to work independently and in a team.
