Postdoctoral Position in Cellular Communication Applications are invited for an immediate opening at the Cellular Communication Group with Dr. Demet Araç, at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Chicago (http://arac.uchicago.edu<http://arac.uchicago.edu/>).
We are interested in understanding how cellular communication is mediated by cell surface receptors at the molecular level. The following papers describe the current direction of our research program: • Structural basis for teneurin function in circuit-wiring: A toxin motif at the synapse. Li, Shalev-Benami, Sando,…, Südhof, Skiniotis, Araç. Cell (2018) • Structural basis for regulation of GPR56/ADGRG1 by its alternatively spliced extracellular domains. Salzman, Ackerman , … , Koide, Araç. Neuron (2016) Applications from a range of backgrounds including biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology are invited. Required skills include molecular cloning and protein biochemistry. Experience in protein expression/purification, structure determination, and GPCR signaling pathways are a plus. Our laboratory is located at the University of Chicago, and is affiliated with the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular biology (http://bmb.uchospitals.edu/) and the Grossman Institute for Neuroscience, Quantitative Biology and Human Behavior (http://neuroscience.uchicago.edu/grossman-institute/). The researcher recruited through this project will have the opportunity to visit and collaborate with interdisciplinary scientists on campus (https://www.uchicago.edu/). Highly motivated candidates with a strong track record of publications should send an application package with research interests, full CV with experimental skills listed in detail, names and contact information of 3 references to: Prof. Demet Araç a...@uchicago.edu<mailto:a...@uchicago.edu> The University of Chicago is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity/Disabled/Veterans Employer.
