A
postdoctoral position is immediately available to join our ongoing
effort of structure-based drug discovery. The particular project is
to identify small-molecule inhibitors of a target protein that is
involved in cellular signal transduction by using NMR-assisted ligand
screening. The collaborative project is between St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital and a biotech company; therefore, the postdoctoral
fellow will have an opportunity to explore the research activities in
the biotech industry. Candidates with a background in Structural
Biology, Biomolecular NMR, Protein Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physical
Chemistry and Chemical Physics are encouraged to apply.
St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital is a premier center dedicated to
advancing the health of children with catastrophic diseases through
biomedical research. The Protein NMR Resource at
St. Jude is currently equipped with three NMR spectrometers, a Bruker
Avanced 800 MHz spectrometer with cryoprobe, a Bruker Avanced 600 MHz
spectrometer with cryoprobe, and a Varian INOVA 600 MHz spectrometer.
In addition to a highly competitive salary, St. Jude offers
postdoctoral research scientists an outstanding benefits package,
including yearly professional travel funds.
