UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN FRANCISCO (UCSF)
POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS, MINOR LAB
Structural studies of ion channels

Postdoctoral positions in Ion Channel Structural Biology are available immediately for highly motivated individuals with a strong interest in cryo-electron microscopy of ion channels the lab of Prof. Dan Minor at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).  The Minor Lab merges structural, biochemical, genetic, and electrophysiological methods to dissect the mechanism of complex protein machines involved in electrical signaling. More information is available at the lab website: http://www.cvri.ucsf.edu/~dminor/

The posts offer ideal opportunities for experienced electron microscopists interested in continuing structural studies, but who would like to complement his or her expertise with other, diverse tools for understanding membrane protein function and mechanism.  Projects focus on determining the structures of a variety of full-length membrane protein and antibody complexes by cryo-electronmicrsocopy methods. The fellows will benefit from both the outstanding environment in the lab and the highly collaborative UCSF electron microscopy community. The lab has access to extensive state-of-the-art electron microscopes, the latest generation of K2 Summit direct electron detectors, and a broad range of crystallographic resources, including regular access to synchrotron beamline 8.3.1 at the nearby Advanced Light Source (ALS) in Berkeley.

Candidates should have (or expect) an Ph.D. or M.D. and should have experience in protein biochemistry and structure determination by cryo-electronmicroscopy methods.

Interested individuals should send a current CV to Prof. Daniel Minor at daniel.minor at ucsf.edu<mailto:daniel.minor at ucsf.edu>
