Research Positions in Structural Biology - NMR and Biophysics
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN, has earned
international recognition for developing treatments against childhood
cancers and for research into basic cancer mechanisms. In basic
science, a modern research tower houses a full range of academic
departments offering a collaborative setting for studies into the
fundamental mechanisms of neoplasia. The Department of Structural
Biology has initiated a Research Program to extend this mission into
X-ray Crystallography, NMR Spectroscopy, and Biophysics. The Department
offers excellent facilities, including macromolecular and small
molecule X-ray equipment, 1 (soon 2) 600 MHz Varian INOVA NMR
spectrometers, SGI and DEC-alpha computer workstations, optical
instrumentation (UV/VIS, fluorescence, light scattering, and CD), an
isothermal titration calorimeter, and molecular biology facilities for
sample preparation, purification, and analysis. Research is supported by
hospital-wide core facilities providing DNA and protein analytical
services (including MALDI/TOF mass spectrometry).
The following open positions are supported by St. Jude institutional
funds:
Postdoctoral Fellow. NMR and Biophysical studies of proteins involved
in cell-cycle control (incl. cell-cycle inhibitors, tumor suppressors,
and oncogenes). Seek applicants with experience in one or more of the
following: multi-dimensional, multi-nuclear NMR of biomolecules,
molecular biology, protein over-expression and purification,
protein-protein binding studies (BIAcore, fluorescence, calorimetry,
etc.), and protein folding studies.
St. Jude offers a state-of-the-art research environment, and competitive
salaries and benefits. Memphis offers the rich cultural environment of
the mid-south and an affordable cost of living. Please send c.v., copies
of relevant publications, and names and telephone numbers of three
references to the address below. Initial e-mail inquiries are welcome.
