Dear colleagues,
There is an opening in my lab to study the structure and mechanism of microtubule regulators with an emphasis on the tubulin code. The formal announcement is pasted below. Thanks, Antonina *Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, USA* A postdoctoral fellowship opportunity is available in the Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit headed by Dr. Antonina Roll-Mecak to work on structural and functional studies of tubulin modification enzymes and molecular motors using a combination of X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM and single molecule fluorescence microscopy. Research in the Roll-Mecak lab focuses on deciphering the tubulin code ie how tubulin posttranslational modifications tune microtubule functions (see for instance Garnham et al., *Cell* 2015, Valenstein et al., *Cell* 2016, Vemu et al., *JBC* 2016; Zehr et al *Nature Struct & Molec Biology, *2017). We use a combination of biochemistry, X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy and single-molecule fluorescence techniques. For more information about the lab please visit: https://neuroscience.nih.gov/ninds/rm_lab/ I am looking for enthusiastic, self-motivated Ph.D. graduates with a strong publication record and expertise in molecular biology, biochemistry, X-ray crystallography or electron microscopy who welcome working in an interdisciplinary group with a supportive atmosphere and excellent resources. The Washington DC area is a great place to live with great access to cultural and outdoor activities. Experience with assembly of large protein complexes or structure determination by crystallographic methods or EM is a definite plus. The successful applicant will be awarded a NINDS Intramural Fellowship. Please send a CV, a one-page research experience summary and contact information of three references to anton...@mail.nih.gov Please write “Fellow - tubulin code” in the subject header. -- Antonina Roll-Mecak Senior Investigator and Chief Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit Porter Neuroscience Research Center NINDS and NHLBI National Institutes of Health Administrative contact: Karen Kendrick; Ph: 301-451-9223; Email: karen.kendr...@nih.gov <katie.tip...@nih.gov> Lab website: https://neuroscience.nih.gov/ninds/RM_Lab/
