Two postdoctoral
positions are immediately available in the group of
Wolfgang
Peti at Brown University. One position focuses on the
characterization of ser/thr protein phosphatase 1 and its role in
cancer and diabetes. The second position examines novel signal
transduction pathways in the innate immune system.
The laboratory uses cryo-probe equipped Bruker 500
& 800 NMR spectrometer, and has in-house access to a full range of
biophysical instruments (ITC (VP-ITC + ITC200), CD, DSC, fluorescence,
light scattering, etc.). Furthermore, the laboratory uses X-ray
crystallography to determine high-resolution structures and SAXS/WAXS
for low resolution data analysis. Access to state of the art
crystallization tools is available in-house. Work ethic in the
laboratory is based on collaboration of highly motivated individuals
within the group and with a large number of collaborations outside of
Brown University.
Brown University is an Ivy-League University and one
of the leading research universities in New England (Northeast of US).
Providence is a small enough city to settle quickly, however provides
many amenities of large cities. It is also one of the most affordable
cities in the New England area.
How to apply
Interested candidates, with a background in either
solution NMR spectroscopy or X-ray crystallography of proteins, should
email a CV and the names of at least two references to Wolfgang_Peti at
brown.edu.
