Postdoctoral Fellow in Multidisciplinary Structural Biology Laboratory of Dr. Yongna Xing
McArdle Laboratory of Cancer Research Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research (WIMR) II 6451 University of Wisconsin-Madison 1111 Highland Ave Madison, WI 53705 A postdoctoral position on multidisciplinary structural biology is available to investigate the mechanisms and functions of phosphatase signaling complexes and their disease mutations in cancer and intellectual disability. We combine cryo-EM, x-ray crystallography, cell biology, system biology, biochemistry, computational biology, machine learning, and bioinformatics to gain critical knowledge on complex phosphatase signaling networks dictated by both allosteric structured cores and versatile signaling motifs. The research is performed in a highly multidisciplinary setting with basic scientists with expertise in Cryo-EM, biochemistry, cell biology, bioinformatics and chemical biology. We are well equipped for multidisciplinary research, such as powerful GPU computers, a liquid handling crystallization robot, and a live cell imaging system. In addition, our lab is conveniently located near multiple shared facilities. Our research is built on collaborations with more than 10 groups from US and Europe and dynamic collaborations on campus in basic and clinical research. UW-Madison has a highly collaborative research environment that easily establishes novel collaborations. We are seeking productive, and motivated individuals with excellent organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills. We expect our candidates have strong expertise in cryo-EM, x-ray crystallography, and protein biochemistry. We also expect our candidates to feel comfortable expanding their expertise and applying in-house bioinformatic tools and machine learning algorithms developed in the lab and work both independently and in collaboration toward personalized medicine for phosphatase diseases. The starting salary for the promising candidate will be $54,000 or above. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. To apply: Please send a cover letter, CV, and the names and contact information for three references to Dr. Yongna Xing via email: x...@oncology.wisc.edu<mailto:x...@oncology.wisc.edu>. Under-represented minorities are encouraged to apply.
