An NIH-funded postdoctoral position in GPCR structural biology is available in the Pioszak laboratory in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (http://www.oumedicine.com/department-of-biochemistry-and-molecular-biology/faculty/augen-pioszak-ph-d-). Projects involve structure/function studies of soluble domains of GPCRs as well as full-length receptors.
The Pioszak lab is housed in the modern S.L. Young Biomedical Research Center on the expanding medical school campus adjacent to the vibrant downtown Oklahoma City area. We have state-of-the-art equipment for protein expression and purification, biophysical characterization of proteins (ITC, DSC, CD), robotic crystallization (ARI Gryphon), and in house X-ray data collection (Rigaku), as well as access to macromolecular crystallography beamlines at the APS synchrotron. Applicants should hold a recent Ph.D. in Biochemistry or related area. Experience with molecular biology techniques, protein expression and purification, protein-protein interaction methodologies, and X-ray crystallography would be an advantage. Experience with glycoproteins and/or membrane proteins is desired, but is not required. Strong motivation and a strong work ethic are a must. To apply, please send a cover letter describing your interest in the position and previous experience, CV, and the names and contact information for 3 references to augen-pios...@ouhsc.edu.
