An opportunity is available immediately for postdoctoral research with Drs. P. Howard and P. Grochulski as part of the Molecular Design Research Group at the University of Saskatchewan.  This is a multi-year funded position for structure and function studies on the type II secretion system utilized by many bacterial pathogens in the secretion of protein toxins.  The successful candidate will have documented experience in protein structure determination, including 1) protein purification and crystallization, 2) data collection and processing, 3) structure determination and model refinement.  Modern protein purification and analysis facilities as well as the Canadian Light Source will provide a highly motivated individual with an excellent foundation for career development in structural biology.   Interested  candidates should apply with a cover letter and C.V. to Dr P. Howard at  [log in to unmask] or to Dr P. Grochulski at [log in to unmask]

Regards,

Pawel
