*Postdoc in Structure-Based Ligand Discovery*
We are recruiting for a post-doctoral position in structure-based ligand
discovery in the Shoichet lab at the University of California San Francisco
(UCSF) (https://bkslab.org/) (https://bkslab.org/people/current_members). We
are particularly interested in recruiting investigators with protein
biochemistry and crystallography backgrounds interested in training in
structure-based drug discovery.
Research focuses on developing and testing new ligand discovery methods,
with a GPCR focus. Open projects include structure-based discovery of new
analgesics, GPCR deorphanization, antiviral discovery against SARS-2, and
particularly biophysical testing of new docking methods in experimental
model systems. Recent papers include:
Tummino et al., *Science *2021
Schuller et al., *Science Adv* 2021
Pottel et al., *Science* 2020
Stein et al., *Nature *2020
Lyu et al., *Nature* 2019
Top facilities are available in a friendly, collaborative environment, and
the lab is well-resourced. Stipend and benefits at or above NRSA levels.
If interested please send a cover letter, CV and contact information for
three referees to Brian Shoichet (shoichet@cgl.ucsf.edu). Deadline Aug
15, 2021.
