A funded postdoctoral position is awaiting an enthusiastic and
independent researcher who will conduct structural biology research in
the exciting and emerging field of tissue development.
Project goals include solving the three-dimensional solution NMR
structure(s) of a NOVEL transcription factor +/- DNA, characterizing
protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions, and determining the
dynamics of the free and complexed molecules in an effort to understand
the mechanism and specificity of DNA recognition and tissue specific
function.
The ideal candidate will either have a Ph.D. in NMR based research of
macromolecules or have a proven record in solving solution NMR
structures of proteins. Candidates with experience in studies of
dynamics and pulse programming are also encouraged to apply. Competitive
stipend will be based on performance record.
Facilities: State-of-the art laboratory. 600 MHz NMR (Avance);
equipment and instrumentation for molecular biology, and protein
expression + purification include shakers/incubators, Avanti J-series
centrifuge with 6 L capacity JLA8.1 rotor, Amersham-Pharmacia's Acta
Purifier, gel apparati for protein and DNA gels and accessories, HP8453
spectrophotometer with a peltier device, spectropolarimeter (CD), and
other essentials. Graphics & computational facility: SGI Octane, O2,
PCs.
One full-time and a part-time technicians are available to assist with
protein production.
Qualified applicants should E-mail their CV and names/contact
information of three references to Sudha.Veeraraghavan_at_uth.tmc.edu
