My
research group at UT Health San Antonio is seeking to immediately hire a Postdoctoral Fellow who can work on the structures and mechanisms of human RNA/DNA/chromatin modification complexes. We will use X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM, and
enzyme
biochemistry to address basic mechanistic questions and develop anticancer agents for the treatment of pediatric tumors.

Below are some of our recent publications:

1. eLife. 2022 Jan 21;11. doi: 10.7554/eLife.67150. PubMed PMID:
   35060905. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.67150
2. Nature Communications. 2021 Jun 2; 12: 3287. PMID:
   34078893. doi:
   10.1038/s41467-021-23594-y

   32709886. doi:
   10.1038/s41467-020-17496-8

 

Candidates with demonstrated
experience in X-ray crystallography and a strong interest in cryo-EM studies and drug discovery are especially
encouraged to apply. We already have crystals and cryo-EM datasets available
for an immediate start.

The
Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute (GCCRI) is a unique specialized
cancer research center focusing on basic and translational research in
childhood cancer and occupies a state-of-the-art 100,000 sq. foot research
facility on the university’s Greehey Academic and Research Campus. The GCCRI
has significant external funding, a large endowment from the state, and links
to philanthropic entities. San
Antonio is the nation’s seventh-largest city and is located at the edge of the
beautiful Texas Hill County. San Antonio offers a rich, multi-cultural
community, affordable cost of living, excellent weather, and a thriving
biomedical industry.

Interested candidates can submit
their application (CV, a brief description of their accomplishments, and contacts of 3 references)
directly by email to me (Email: guptay@uthscsa.edu)
