Dear All,
A postdoctoral position is available in Dr. Yang Gao’s Lab (http://yanggaolab.blogs.rice.edu/) at Rice University, Houston, TX. Our lab studies enzymes and motors in DNA replication and repair (Science 363 (6429), eaav7003; Science 352 (6291), 1334). We combined biochemical, and biophysical techniques with cryo-electron microscope and crystallography to investigate how the genomic DNA is replicated and maintained. In addition, we explore structural-based drug screening (PMID: 34900730) and protein engineering (Yang, et. al. under revision, Nat. Chem. Biol.). Previous experiences with protein cloning, expression, and purifications are needed. Experiences in crystallography and cryo-EM are a plus but not stickily required. Candidates with experience in biochemical reconstitution and characterizations of large enzyme complexes are more than welcome.
Interested candidates please contact Yang at yg60@rice.edu for details.
Best
