Two postdoctoral positions are available in the group of Tobias Ulmer
at the University of Southern California (USC).
One position focuses on the characterization of
intrinsically unstructured proteins that underlie conformational
diseases (e.g. a-synuclein and Parkinson’s disease). The second
position examines the mechanism of signal transduction of cell surface
receptors across the membrane (e.g. integrin cell-adhesion receptors).
The laboratory is host to a cryo-probe equipped
Bruker 700 NMR spectrometer, a full range of biophysical instruments
(ITC, CD, fluorescence, light scattering, electron microscope) and, on
a collaborative basis, has access to X-ray diffractometer and EPR
spectrometer. The lab is characterized by a creative and collegial
atmosphere of highly motivated individuals. For more information,
including publication list, see
http://resonance.usc.edu/.
USC is one of the leading research universities,
located in one of the most interesting global cities with the
year-round comfortable climate of Southern California (

Interested candidates, with a background in either
solution NMR spectroscopy or X-ray crystallography of proteins, should
email a CV and the names of two references to
tulmer@usc.edu.
