<div dir="ltr">The Loerch lab is looking for two postdoctoral researchers to join our
team. Both positions are fully funded for two years (+ possible
extension) and have flexible starting dates. The Loerch lab studies
localized translation and regulation by upstream pathways in the context
of human disease, such as pain pathologies using a range of
structural biology approaches, biochemistry, and molecular biology. We are
looking for candidates who are keen to use their skills in combination with in situ (2D template
matching) and single-particle
cryo-EM in novel
workflows to determine the mechanisms that enable differential
regulation of protein synthesis in a subcellular context-dependent
manner. The candidate should either have a strong background in
molecular and cell biology, or protein purification, biochemistry, and
biophysics. Expertise in cryo-electron microscopy (SPA or Tomo) is a
plus. We offer a competitive salary and benefits, along with a range of
professional development opportunities. <br><br><div>We
have excellent access to screening and high-end cryo-electron
microscopes, and ancillary instrumentation here at UCSC (Glacios + K2,
LINKAM CSM196), in the Bay Area (several Krios, Aquilos cryo-FIB), and at national facilities. Additionally, we have access to several core facilities at UCSC, including a light microscopy
facility with PhD level staff and available training. The Loerch lab is also part of the highly collaborative "Center for molecular biology of RNA" at UCSC (<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://rna.ucsc.edu/rnacenter/research.html__;!!Mih3wA!AI2MSMGdckmjRjtQAytfku55p0S3TIlh7ZMw3GqcfguC43WmvSwR8iHLFpJHOoPkOBkE7K81jAjR_VazCw8$">http://rna.ucsc.edu/rnacenter/research.html</a>).</div><br>Interested candidates
