Dear All,
The laboratory of Hiro Furukawa at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
(CSHL) is seeking a postdoc with dynamic interests in solving problems
in neurological disorders and diseases using biochemical and
biophysical techniques. We conduct x-ray crystallography on
transmembrane proteins to understand basic mechanisms of ion and
substrate transport across the membrane and on fragments of water
soluble domains to answer specific pharmacological questions. We
validate structure-based functional hypotheses by a combination of
techniques such as electrophysiology and calcium imaging. We have
excellent setups to conduct membrane protein biochemistry and
crystallography such as Mosquito LCP and have frequent accesses to
synchrotron light sources including NSLS and APS. CSHL offers a unique
scientific environment to interact with scientists within the
institute as well as from outside at courses and meetings. A qualified
candidate should hold or soon expected to hold (within ~1yr) Ph.D. in
the area of crystallography and biochemistry and have experiences in
basic molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein expression.
Experience in x-ray crystallography or electron microscopy is desired
but not necessary. Please see the lab website
(http://www.cshl.edu/public/SCIENCE/furukawa.html) for further
information and send CV with a brief research statement as well as 2-3
contacts for references to [log in to unmask]
