[3dem] Postdoctoral position available: RNA-protein complex structures

[Yunsun Nam]

*Postdoc position available:*

*Biochemistry and Structural Biology of RNA-protein Complexes*
A postdoctoral research position is available in the laboratory of Yunsun
Nam Ph.D., in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Texas
Southwestern Medical Center, to study the mechanisms underlying RNA-protein
complexes important for gene regulation. Our laboratory works on exciting
projects dissecting how chemistry and structure contribute to assembling
specific RNA-protein complex architectures important for normal gene
expression, using structural biology and biochemistry. The RNA-protein
complexes we study are relevant for normal development as well as diseases.
As we unravel how dysregulated RNA-protein complexes derail gene expression
and cause cancer, we use our mechanistic insights to identify novel
therapeutic avenues.

Postdoctoral scholars will have opportunities to learn the newest methods
in protein and nucleic acid biochemistry and biophysics, in addition to
working in an exciting, fast-evolving field in biomedical sciences. We use
various approaches, including cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), X-ray
crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, molecular biology, nucleic acid and
protein biochemistry, genomics with next-generation sequencing,
high-throughput screening for drug discovery, and cancer cell biology. The
postdoctoral fellow will have ready access to the top-of-the-line equipment
and resources necessary for the above approaches. For cryo-EM, we have
ready access to four microscopes on our campus: two Titan Krios, one
Glacios, and one Talos Arctica. Information on our postdoctoral training
program, benefits, and a virtual tour can be found at

Candidates must hold a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree. Experience in biochemistry
and structural biology leading to publication in peer-reviewed journals is
recommended. Interested individuals should send a CV, a statement of
interest, and a list of three references as a single pdf file to:
