[ccp4bb] Postdoc position in biophysics of parasite signaling molecules at UT Southwestern
Dear all,
The lab of Dr. Michael Reese at UT Southwestern Medical Center
(http://www.reeselab.org) is recruiting highly motivated postdocs to
join our team studying the molecular mechanisms of signalling at the
Toxoplasma-host pathogen interface. We take an interdisciplinary
approach and combine methods from molecular genetics, cell biology,
biochemical and biophysics to deeply interrogate Toxoplasma biology.
Current projects include:
+ Structural studies of parasite protein complexes that are
required for the biogenesis of the vacuole in which Toxoplasma
replicates inside its vertebrate host cells.
+ Cellular and structural studies of signaling complexes essential
to parasite invasion of mammalian cells
+ Structure-based drug discovery for inhibitors of kinases
essential to the apicomplexan lytic cycle (that is, the parasites that
cause the human diseases toxoplasmosis, malaria, and cryptosporidiosis).
This would be a great opportunity for someone with biophysics
training to learn to work with an atypical model organism with huge
medical relevance. Those with more cell biological experience who would
like to integrate biophysics and biochemistry into their research are
also more than welcome to apply. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. (or be
within a year of receiving their Ph.D.). If interested, please send a CV
with cover letter and contact information for 2-3 references to
michael.reese@utsouthwestern.edu.
Members of the Reese lab have full access to outstanding shared
facilities as UT Southwestern, including high-field NMR, x-ray
crystallography (with regular synchotron access), and world-class
cryoEM. UT Southwestern is highly collaborative institution located in
the heart of Dallas. The Dallas metroplex is welcoming and affordable,
with great food and arts.
As an equal opportunity employer, UT Southwestern’s employment decisions
are made without consideration of race, color, national origin,
religion, sex, age, veteran status, or disability.
