Qualified individuals should have a PhD and/or MD (or equivalent advanced degree), at least 3 years of postdoctoral/research scholar experience, and a strong record of productivity in high profile journals. All candidates should have expertise in X-ray crystallography and membrane protein purification from both bacterial and mammalian systems. Candidates should also have specific expertise in high-throughput and high-resolution approaches to structure determination of membrane proteins and/or bacterial ribosomes using cryo-electron microscopy and 2D crystals. Candidates should also have experience in performing molecular dynamics simulations to facilitate understanding of the interaction of drugs with macromolecules. Candidates well-versed in the mechanisms of resistance in bacteria will be considered strong.
The individuals chosen for this position will be encouraged to develop an extramurally funded research program. Successful candidates will be expected to interact closely with current faculty within the Department in the development of Cryo-EM methods and biophysical methods (such as single molecular FRET and isothermal titration chemistry).
