UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN FRANCISCO (UCSF) RESEARCH SPECIALIST, JURA LAB A research specialist position in Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Structural Biology is available immediately in the lab of Prof. Natalia Jura at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). The Jura Lab merges structural, biochemical, imaging and cell biology approaches to dissect the mechanism of multi-protein assemblies involved in receptor tyrosine kinase signaling at the plasma membrane. More information is available at the lab website: http://www.cvri.ucsf.edu/~jura The hired individual will carry a research project that involves protein purification, crystallization and X-ray structure determination of protein complexes in a collaborative project with two other labs. The position is currently funded for two years. We are most interested in candidates who want to spearhead independent research, and who are team players with good communication and interpersonal skills. The candidate must have at least BA/BS in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology or Chemistry or a related science, and several years of experience with protein expression, purification and structure determination through X-ray crystallography. The hired individual will benefit from both the multidisciplinary environment in the lab and the highly collaborative UCSF community. The lab has extensive crystallographic resources, including (as part of the UCSF crystallography group) two R-axis IV systems and regular access to synchrotron beamline 8.3.1 at the nearby Advanced Light Source (ALS) in Berkeley. Interested individuals should send a current CV to Prof. Natalia Jura at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
