A postdoctoral position is available for structural and functional analysis of proteins involved in virulence and/or survival in pathogenic bacteria. We are particularly interested in developing drugs and vaccines that target multidrug resistant bacterial strains. See recent examples of our work in/Nature/483:53-58 (2012) <http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v483/n7387/full/nature10823.html>and/Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA/109:9857-9862 (2012) <http://www.pnas.org/content/109/25/9857.long>. Candidates must have experience in protein structure determination by X-ray crystallography and will ideally have some experience in membrane or soluble protein expression, purification, and crystallization. Good biochemistry skills are essential. We are part of an interactive group of structural biologists sharing common home source X-ray facilities, dedicated access to beamlines at APS, and a common weekly group meeting. Applicants must have a PhD and less than five years of postdoctoral experience.
