join our team. Projects will include (1) investigating protein structure
and dynamics underlying the biomolecular condensation of RNA-binding
proteins and the self-assembly of cell cytoskeleton proteins; and (2)
characterizing native plant cell wall structure and the effect of
deconstruction approaches for bioproduct development. Experience in
biological NMR, cryo-electron microscopy, and/or advanced biochemical and
molecular biology methods is preferred, but not required. Training will be
provided to excellent candidates as needed. The applicant will be supported
by an NIH grant and have access to well-equipped facilities for solution
and solid-state NMR, and cryogenic and non-cryogenic electron microscopy.
Additional experimental resources are available through core facilities
across the vibrant UC Davis campus. Davis California is ideally situated
midway between the relaxing wilderness of Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada
mountains and the vibrant biotechnology hub of the San Francisco Bay Area.
