Post-Doctoral Position in Protein NMR
University of Nebraska Medical Center, Department of Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology
We are looking
for a post-doctoral fellow with a strong interest in NMR-based
characterization of protein structure, protein-ligand and
protein-protein interactions. The ideal candidate will be innovative,
motivated, and enthusiastic. Background training in NMR spectroscopy,
protein structural biology, and/or biophysics is highly desirable.
The laboratory focuses on characterizing the role of
intra- and inter-molecular interactions in defining the structure and
function of gap junction proteins and proteins involved in endocytic
transport (Web link: http://www.unmc.edu/dept/biochemistry/index.cfm?L1_ID=13&CONREF=18).
These projects also represent an opportunity for an NMR expert who
wants to expand her/his scientific horizon to obtain advanced training
in biophysical characterization of proteins outside of NMR (e.g.
surface plasmon resonance, analytical ultracentrifugation, circular
dichroism, and the yeast-two hybrid assay). Our NMR facility is
equipped with a 500 MHz Varian INOVA NMR spectrometer and a 600 MHz
Varian INOVA NMR spectrometer outfitted with a cryo-probe. The lab and
department have recently moved to the new, state-of-the-art, Durham
Research Center, which will provide a stimulating and friendly
environment to work.
The University of Nebraska Medical Center is a
highly respected research institution located in Omaha, Nebraska.
The medical center was ranked among the top 10 "Best Places to Work for
Postdocs" by The Scientist magazine. The greater Omaha region has
about 750,000 residents, and has been consistently rated as one of the
top 5 U.S. cities for families (based on available activities, cost of
living/housing, safety etc.). Omaha is expanding rapidly, and
there are ample opportunities for cultural and recreational events,
including symphony, theatres, art galleries and sporting events.
