| POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS, MINOR LAB - Available for start in 2011 CARDIOVASCULAR RESEARCH INSTITUTE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN FRANCISCO (UCSF) Structure, Function, and Regulation of Ion Channels Postdoctoral positions in Ion Channel Structural Biology are available immediately for highly motivated individuals with a strong interest in integrated approaches to problems in ion channel structure, function, and regulation in the lab of Prof. Dan Minor at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). The Minor Lab merges structural, biochemical, genetic, and electrophysiological methods to dissect the mechanism of complex protein machines involved in electrical signaling. More information is available at the lab website: http://www.cvri.ucsf.edu/~dminor/ The positions offer ideal opportunities for experienced crystallographers interested in continuing structural studies, but who would like to complement expertise with other, diverse tools for understanding membrane protein function and mechanism. Available projects also include investigation of full-length membrane protein structures. The fellows will benefit from both the outstanding environment in the lab and the highly collaborative UCSF community. The lab has extensive crystallographic resources, including (as part of the UCSF crystallography group) two R-axis IV systems and regular access to synchrotron beamline 8.3.1 at the nearby Advanced Light Source (ALS) in Berkeley. The lab has recently relocated to the new Smith Cardiovascular Research Building on the UCSF Mission Bay Campus http://www.hawkeyeaerial.com/UCSF_083110/ Candidates should have (or expect) an Ph.D. or M.D. and should have experience in protein purification, crystallization, and structure determination. Interested individuals should send a current CV to Prof. Daniel Minor at daniel.minor@ucsf.edu Dan Minor, Ph.D.
