*Postdoctoral Fellow – structural biology * *Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit, National Institutes of Health*
A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit headed by Dr. Antonina Roll-Mecak to work on structural studies of microtubule regulators. Research in the Roll-Mecak lab focuses on understanding the interplay between microtubules and their regulators and how tubulin post-translational modifications tune the behavior of motors and microtubule associated proteins (see for instance Garnham and Roll-Mecak, 2012; Szyk et al., 2011). We use a combination of biochemistry, structural biology, cell biology and single-molecule fluorescence techniques and a member of this lab will have an opportunity to be exposed to all these areas. The research facilities in the lab are outstanding and the lab has state-of-the-art equipment such as crystallization robots, TIRF microscopes and regular access to the synchrotron. For more information about the lab and living in the Washington D.C. area, please visit: http://intra.ninds.nih.gov/rm_lab/ The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline with a strong publication record and expertise in molecular biology, biochemistry and crystallography. The position offers a generous salary and benefits package. Please send a CV, a one-page research experience summary and contact information of three references to anton...@mail.nih.gov Please write “Fellow- structural biology” in the subject header.
