Dear Colleagues, Postdoctoral positions in membrane protein biochemistry and structural biology are available in the laboratory of Peng Yuan at Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, Missouri. The lab is interested in understanding molecular mechanisms and physiological functions of membrane transport proteins that play important roles in human health and disease (for most recent examples: Nature Structural & Molecular Biology 2018, doi: 10.1038/s41594-018-0037-5; Nature Microbiology 2018, doi: 10.1038/s41564-018-0255-y). We use a combination of approaches including X-ray crystallography, single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM), biochemical reconstitution and electrophysiology. The lab is well equipped with state-of-the-art setup for membrane protein biochemistry, biophysics and structural biology. In addition, we have excellent access to synchrotron X-ray facilities including the Advanced Photon Source and state-of-the-art Titan Krios cryo-electron microscope at the Washington University Center for Cellular Imaging.
Successful candidates are expected to be highly motivated and well trained in membrane protein biochemistry, or in structural biology using X-ray crystallography or cryoEM. Please send your application including cover letter, CV, and contact information for three references to yu...@wustl.edu. Sincerely, Peng Yuan, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Cell Biology and Physiology Washington University School of Medicine Campus Box 8228 660 South Euclid Avenue Saint Louis, MO 63110 ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1
