Hello, We would like to additionally post the following ad for a postdoc:
Postdoctoral Position Available Laboratory of Robert Stroud Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics University of California San Francisco, USA *SUMMARY DESCRIPTION:* The laboratory of Robert Stroud at the University of California – San Francisco is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for membrane protein crystallography and small molecule screening. The position involves working on a key lipid biosynthesis enzyme to identify new antifungal compounds both *in vitro *and *in silico* as well as the structure determination of novel membrane proteins in these pathways. The project involves use of the X-ray free electron laser facility at Linear Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), to develop new time resolved techniques to follow reaction intermediates through a reaction cycle on a structural level. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology or a related field. Prior experience with crystallography, membrane protein purification, or *in silico *molecular screening is desirable. Key aspects include: - Membrane protein purification and crystallography - Work with small molecule binding software to identify potential small molecule inhibitors - Prepare and test new ultrafast diffraction approaches using an x-ray free electron laser *START DATE:* Immediately *APPLICATION:* Please send (1) your CV (2) your resume, describing your relevant skills (3) a list of three references to: stroud...@gmail.com Please put *“Crystallography and Small Molecule Screening Postdoctoral Researcher”* in the subject line of your email. Thank you. -- Robert M.
