Postdoctoral fellow position in structural biology

Peking University, College of Life Sciences seeks to recruit dedicated
postdoctoral fellows to carry out structural and functional investigation
of cell surface receptors in nervous systems.
The successful candidates will focus his/her research on elucidation of
molecular mechanism with which these receptors play the part in neuronal
development and the immune function in central nervous system (CNS). These
include their functions in axon guidance, synapse formation and
neuron-glia interaction that mediates key immunological protection for
CNS. The project is the close collaborative efforts between Professor
Jia-huai Wang's structural biology lab and Professor Yan Zhang's
neuroscience lab.

Position requires PhD. degree with a good background in molecular biology,
protein chemistry and crystallography. Highly motivated individuals are
encouraged to apply. The position will be based at Peking University in
Beijing, China, with opportunity of doing some research at Harvard Medical
School in Boston. Peking University is one of the leading academic
institutions in China. The College of Life Sciences is equipped with the
state-of-art facilities in structural biology for X-ray crystallography,
NMR, EM and single molecule studies. The well-known beautiful campus is
located at China's most advanced academic center with more than 100
research institutes and a dozen highly respected universities.
Historically Peking University also has a large international community
and attracts students and postdoctoral fellows from all over the world.

Interested candidates please email a cover letter, CV, 3 reference names,
as well as email address and telephone number to Drs. Jia-huai Wang or Yan
Zhang at jwang@red.dfci.harvard.edu and yanzhang@pku.edu.cn.
