A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Francis Valiyaveetil, Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon. The Valiyaveetil group investigates the structure and function of ion channels and transporters using a combination of unnatural amino acid mutagenesis, electrophysiology and x-ray crystallography. See references (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 110, 17886, 2013; Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 110, 15698, 2013) for an example of the research underway in the lab. The position is suitable for a highly motivated candidate with a recent (less than 1 year) Ph.D. in biochemistry, biophysics or a related discipline. We are particularly interested in candidates who have carried out protein structure-function studies in their graduate research using biochemical, structural or spectroscopic approaches. The position provides the candidate with a unique opportunity to enhance their
skill set with membrane protein biochemistry, crystallography and techniques for unnatural amino acid mutagenesis.
