USA - DOE Joint Genome Institute Postdoctoral Positions in X-Ray Crystallography and Structural Molecular Biology
Two exciting postdoctoral opportunities are available at the DOE Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) in Walnut Creek, CA. Research will be conducted at the DOE JGI with access to University of California, Berkeley laboratories and facilities and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory offering a rich and dynamic scholarly environment with the latest in genomics, bioinformatics and structural biology research.
I. Postdoc: X-Ray Crystallography
Study the assembly and the structural basis function of carboxysomes and related bacterial microcompartments as well as other novel proteins of interest to the DOE, using single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques with synchrotron radiation.
Duties:
Design and carry out experiments (from protein preparation to structure analysis) aimed at elucidating the structural basis of bacterial microcompartment function. Conduct X-ray crystallographic structure determination and structure analysis of component proteins of bacterial microcompartments. Evaluate and implement appropriate tools for structural studies. Troubleshoot all stages of experimental process from protein preparation through structure analysis.
II. Postdoc: Structural Molecular Biology
Study the assembly and structural basis function of carboxysomes and related bacterial microcompartments
