One postdoctoral position is available immediately at the Center for Membrane Biology, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The University of Texas Houston Medical School (http://www.uth.tmc.edu/cmb/). The fellow will focus on structural determination of important membrane proteins involved in lipid metabolism and signaling. The fellow will also work with other lipid experts in the center for structural and functional characterization. The ideal candidate should be a self-motivated individual and have a recent PhD degree in structural biology or biochemistry. Decent experiences with standard molecular biology technique, protein crystallization and structural determination approaches are expected. The laboratory locates in the Texas Medical Center campus which provides an excellent environment for academia and research. The lab is fully equipped for protein x-ray crystallographic study, including a Graphon LCP crystallization robot, a Rigaku rotating anode X-ray home source and immediate access to the Berkeley ALS beamline 4.2.2 in the framework of the molecular biology consortium. To apply or request further information, please contact: Dr. Lei Zheng (E-mail: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>). The application should include a current resume and the names and addresses of three referees.
