Postdoctoral openings in Albany, New York

[Rajendra Agrawal]

Postdoctoral Positions in Structural Biology of Translational Apparatus

Human Frontiers Science Program-funded postdoctoral position(s) are 
available immediately to study the "Structure and Function of ribosomal 
RNAs: mechanistic and functional evolution of ribosome". The ribosome is a 
large macromolecular assembly that provides the platform for protein 
synthesis within the cell. One of the research interests in my laboratory 
is to understand the evolution of the protein-synthetic machinery, by 
exploring the minimal structural requirements for a functional ribosome in 
bacteria. Our approach involves a combination of techniques of 
biochemistry, molecular biology, three-dimensional cryo-electron 
microscopy, and molecular modeling. For previous publications on related 
work, see Agrawal et al., Nature Struct. Biol., (1999) vol. 6, 643; Frank & 
Agrawal, Nature, (2000) vol. 406, 318; Agrawal et al., J. Mol. Biol., 
(2001) vol. 311, 777; Mears et al., J. Mol. Biol., (2002) vol. 321, 215.

The interested candidate should have a Ph.D. in biochemistry or biophysics. 
Previous experience in ribosome biochemistry and/or in electron microscopy 
and digital image processing would be preferred, but not essential. Please 
send your CV and contact details of three academic referees to:
