Position Summary
We are looking for a Postdoctoral Associate to elucidate the
structural biology of human membrane proteins and membrane protein
complexes involved in epithelial cell/cell adhesion and
intercellular transport. The candidate will use structural biology
techniques such as X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy
and tomography (cryo-EM, cryo-ET), and microcrystal electron
diffraction (microED) to determine 3D structures of integral
membrane proteins and their associated protein complexes. The
Postdoctoral Scholar will be responsible for:
- The expression, purification, and structure determination of
these membrane proteins and complexes, as well as the development
of methods applied to this research.
- Other activities of the position include assisting with lab
organization and operation.
