postdoctoral position at Sanford-Burnham, San Diego, CA


From: Rongsheng Jin
Date: 30 April 2012 21:13

One postdoctoral position is available in Dr. Rongsheng Jin's laboratory at the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, La Jolla, CA, starting in mid/late 2012. The new postdoctoral fellow is expected to participate in one of two major research projects: the structural and functional characterization of ion channels, receptors, and signaling molecules at synapses, and the mechanism of action of bacterial virulence factors in their cellular context. Our laboratory employs a multidisciplinary approach that combines X-ray crystallography, SAXS, electron microscopy with the more traditional approaches of biochemistry and biophysics. We also have built long-standing collaborative relationships in the areas of cell biology, electrophysiology, toxicology, and animal studies. The successful candidates should have a Ph.D. degree, high motivation, and strong background in one or more of the following research areas: biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology and/or structural biology. Experience in insect cell and/or mammalian cell culture would be desirable, but is not required.

 

The Sanford-Burnham is located in La Jolla, San Diego. A wide variety of intellectual and technical resources are also available, such as UC San Diego, the Salk Institute, the Scripps Research Institute, and other numerous biotech companies. To apply for this position please send curriculum vitae and names of three references to Rongsheng Jin (rjinATburnham.org).
