Dear Colleagues, The Hao Wu lab at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA (https://www.wulab.tch.harvard.edu/) has openings for postdoctoral positions to study structures and functions of supramolecular complexes, especially those in the inflammasome pathway, using a combination of cryo-EM, cryo-ET, cellular imaging and other biochemical, biophysical and cell biological techniques. These positions …

On behalf of Petrou Lab ——————————————— Dear Colleagues,A postdoctoral position is available in the Petrou lab at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark, New Jersey, to study the structure and function of membrane (and soluble) proteins using single-particle cryoEM and other techniques. The Postdoctoral Fellow will be responsible for the expression, purification and structure …

Dear All, I would like to bring your attention to Open Postdoctoral Position: Structural biology of the actin cytoskeleton Djinovic lab is interested in the molecular mechanisms underlying the architecture and assembly of the actin based cytoskeleton. This project focuses on ubiquitous human proteins α-actinin-1 and -4, which self-associate to form a homo- and hetero …

Dear colleagues, We have two immediate openings for Postdoctoral Research Associates at Oak Ridge National Laboratory: Position 1: We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in structural biology of enzymes degrading recalcitrant natural and synthetic polymers. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will join a multi-disciplinary research team that uses enzyme engineering and neutron/X-ray/electron diffraction to understand …

Postdoctoral Position: Structural biology of the actin cytoskeleton Djinovic lab is interested in the molecular mechanisms underlying the architecture and assembly of the actin based cytoskeleton. This project focuses on ubiquitous human proteins α-actinin-1 and -4, which self-associate to form a homo- and hetero dimeric units that cross-link actin filaments in calcium-regulated manner. The project …

The Keenan lab at the University of Chicago has openings for research staff (junior or senior) and postdoctoral fellows. Our research focuses on mechanisms of membrane protein biogenesis and quality control. More information about our work and the lab can be found here: publications:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/1p3srcyQuj-Qx/bibliography/public/  website:  https://keenanlab.bsd.uchicago.edu twitter: @keenan_lab Chicago is a vibrant and dynamic city, …

The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), London, is one of the world’s most influential cancer research institutes, with an outstanding record of achievement dating back more than 100 years. We provided the first convincing evidence that DNA damage is the basic cause of cancer, laying the foundation for the now universally accepted idea that cancer …

Dear CCP4 Community, We are a new and dynamic group at Bar-Ilan University. We investigate the effects of biological confinement within protein-based structures, i.e. protein cages and nanotubes. Towards that end, we combine state-of-the-art techniques including protein engineering and biophysical characterization in combination with cellular behavior. Check out previous relevant work: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31969701/ Excellent and highly …

Dear all We have a BBSRC-funded PhD studentship available and would appreciate if you can circulate to your institutions and potential candidates.  https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/piercing-the-armour-c-difficile-s-layer-permeability/?p150321 The project builds on our recent work on C. difficile‘s S-layer structural determination (10.1038/s41467-022-28196-w) and will combine structural biology, biochemistry and molecular simulations.  I encourage anyone interested to get in touch and discuss their …

Two PhD positions in the group of Titia Sixma at the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam to study processes at the interface of DNA repair and replication using cryo-EM and quantitative biochemistry (https://www.nki.nl/research/research-groups/titia-sixma/).   These are both Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action doctoral networks, one is the REPLIFATE project (https://replifate.eu), where we focus on regulation of DNA …
