Our Laboratory is focused on structural mechanisms of molecular machines that regulate tubulin heterodimer biogenesis, dynamic microtubule polymerization, and mechanisms of mitotic kinesin motor proteins. There are well-developed projects in our laboratory to elucidate mechanisms of these multi-subunit complexes using the biochemical reconstitution, cryo-EM and / or x-ray crystallography and validate these mechanisms using single molecule fluorescence reconstitution with microtubules. </span><br class="" style="font-family: ArialMT;"><br class="" style="font-family: ArialMT;"><div class="" style="font-family: ArialMT;">Our laboratory has extensive setups for protein production, biochemical characterization, x-ray crystallography, full access to a cryo-EM sample preparation setup, a semi-automated side-entry JEOL 2100F for sample screening, and an automated 200 KV Glacios equipped with an autoloader and a Gatan K3 detector. UC-Davis is a member of the Bay Area Cryo-EM consortium with monthly access to Titan Krios microscopes for high-resolution data collection. for example multi-disciplinary studies: <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Al-bassam+J" class="">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Al-bassam+J</a>, <a href="https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/713909v2" class="">https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/713909v2</a><br class=""><br class=""><b class="">Assistant Project Scientist</b>:<br class="">The suitable candidates should have a PhD in chemistry, biochemistry or biophysics and has successfully completed postdoctoral training in either single particle cryo-EM and/or x-ray crystallography with extensive expertise in molecular cloning, recombinant protein production and purification using bacteria, and insect or mammalian expression systems: <b class=""><a href="https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF03202" class="">https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF03202</a><br class=""></b><br class=""><b class="">Postdoctoral fellow</b>:<br class="">The suitable candidates should have a PhD in chemistry, biochemistry or biophysics with expertise in either single particle cryo-EM and/or x-ray crystallography, molecular cloning, recombinant protein production and purification using bacteria, and insect or mammalian expression systems: <b class=""><a href="https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF03203" class="">https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF03203</a></b><br class=""><br class=""> Please send any informal inquiries to <a href="mailto:jawdat@ucdavis.edu" class="">jawdat@ucdavis.edu</a>.
