The collegial atmosphere at City of Hope provides
unique opportunities for translational and basic research, continuing
education and professional achievement. We are a National Cancer
Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center and a leader in
biomedicine. If you share our passion for discovery, consider the
following opportunity within City of Hope’s Beckman Research Institute,
one of the nation’s premier biomedical research centers.
There is a postdoctoral position in Dr. Yuan Chen’s
lab. The project involves studies of post-translation modifications by
ubiquitin-like proteins using multi-disciplinary approaches including
NMR methods, biochemical analysis, and molecular and cellular biology
methods. We are also developing chemical probes of the various aspects
of these modifications using chemical and structural biology
approaches, and applying these chemical modulators to investigate the
roles of these modifications in cellular and disease processes.
The ideal candidate should have a strong background
in one or more of the following areas: NMR spectroscopy, computational
methods, biochemistry and molecular biology. Recent publications of the
laboratory include Oncogene (in press); Molecular Cell. 27(2):228-37,
2007; J Am Chem Soc. 128(41):13474-13478, 2006; Nature Structure and
Molecular Biology, 12(1):67 – 74, 2005; Proceeding of the National
Academy of Sciences 101(40), 14373-14378, 2004. Detailed information
about our laboratory can be found on the website:

Nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel
Mountains, City of Hope is in a serene community in which to live and
work. The subtropical and semi-arid climate offers year-round outdoor
activity. An hour’s drive in different directions can take you to ocean
beaches, snow skiing, or desert camping. It is close enough to take
advantage of the benefits of city life, but far enough to enjoy living
in a peaceful environment.
