[ccp4bb] Postdoctoral position in Structure Function studies on Transport Proteins
A postdoctoral position is available in the Valiyaveetil group at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon. The Valiyaveetil group investigates structure and function of ion channels and transporters using a combination of unnatural amino acid mutagenesis, electrophysiology, structural biology and spectroscopy. See references [ELife (2018), 7, doi:10.7554/eLife.36478; Nat Commun. (2018), 9, 5055; PNAS (2019) 116, 15939-15946] for examples of recent research from the lab. The group is a part of the Program in Chemical Biology in the Department of Chemical Physiology and Biochemistry.
The position is suitable for a highly motivated candidate with a recent (less than 1 year) Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Biophysics or a related discipline. The candidate will investigate glutamate transporters (and related transporters) using a combination of biochemical, spectroscopic and structural approaches. The candidate for this position should have prior experience in membrane protein biochemistry. Expertise in structure determination using crystallography or cryo-EM or in spectroscopic approaches such as fluorescence or EPR will be a plus. The position provides the candidate with a unique opportunity to enhance their skill set with the techniques for membrane protein engineering using unnatural amino acid mutagenesis.
The Valiyaveetil lab is well equipped to carry out structural and functional studies of ion channels and transporters. OHSU provides an excellent scientific environment. Portland is consistently rated as one of the most livable cities in the US.
To apply send CV, a 1-2 page description of graduate research and future research plans along with contact information for three references by email to: valiyave@ohsu.edu
OHSU is an equal opportunity, affirmative action institution.
