The research groups of Drs. Howard Young and Joanne Lemieux at the University
of Alberta seek a highly trained and motivated candidate for a postdoctoral
fellow position. The broad interests of the labs are
in membrane protein structure and function. We combine structural
techniques such as macromolecular crystallography and cryo-EM with biophysical and
biochemical methods such as membrane reconstitution and biophysical/functional
assays to investigate the structural basis of membrane protein function and
dysfunction in human diseases. Some of the research projects available involve
techniques such as micro-electron diffraction (micro-ED) and cryo-EM of helical
assemblies.<span></span></span></p>

laboratories have state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. For X-ray
crystallography, we access to an in-house MicroMax-007 HF X-ray system from
Rigaku, a Gryphon crystallization robot, and periodic access to the Canadian
Light Source synchrotron facility. My laboratory is also associated with the Centre
for Prions and Protein Folding Diseases, which houses a Tecnai F20 electron
microscope with a Falcon 2 direct electron detector and Gatan cryo-holders and
cryo-transfer systems. <span></span></span></p>
