Postdoctoral Position: Structure & Dynamics of a Viral
Polymerase Complex
Department of Chemistry, The City
College of New York (CCNY)
New York, USA
Description:
The successful candidate will perform research towards the
determination of structure/dynamics/function correlations in a viral
polymerase complex using a combination of NMR and X-Ray
crystallography. The candidate will work closely with one or more
graduate students and will have significant access to the NMR
facilities in-house (600 MHz with a cryoprobe) and to those at the New
York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC, 500-900 all with cryoprobes). In
addition, access to crystallization and screening facilities (NYSBC)
and the X4A, X4C beamlines (NSLS, Brookhaven National Lab.) will also
be available.
The NYSBC is situated on the CCNY campus a few yards from the
laboratory and is the largest such center in the US.
Qualifications:
A PhD or equivalent is required. The candidate should possess necessary
molecular biology and biochemistry skills to clone, express, purify and
biochemically/functionally characterize the relevant proteins.
Experience in either biomolecular NMR spectroscopy or biomolecular
crystallography is required. The candidate should also possess the
necessary computer skills expected for structural biology.
Salary:
Commensurate with experience. A comprehensive benefits package
will also be provided.
