A NIH-funded post-doctoral research
position is available in the laboratory of Seok-Yong Lee at the Duke University
School of Medicine to study the structural and mechanistic basis of membrane
transport processes. The lab’s current research focuses on three membrane transport
processes: Ca2+ permeation in somatosensation, drug/metabolite
transport, and polysaccharide transport in microbial cell wall synthesis. The
Lee Lab applies a broad multidisciplinary approach to examine these processes using
structural, biochemical, biophysical, chemical biology, and
computational methods. The successful applicant will work on advancing our
mechanistic understanding of somatosensation into broader biological contexts.
Recent publications from the lab are
Wright, Fedor, et al., Nature,
2022
Ren et al., Nat. Struct. & Mol.
Biol. 2022
Kwon et al., Nat. Communs. 2022
Kwon et al., Nat. Struc. & Mol.
Biol. 2021
Further information can be found on the
Lee lab website (https://sites.duke.edu/leelab/).
This is a great opportunity for talented
biochemists/structural biologists interested in
linking structural biology to sensory neuroscience who would enjoy being
embedded in a scientifically diverse and highly collaborative group. A strong
background in either structural biology (cryo-EM or X-ray) or membrane protein biochemistry is a plus, but
not required.
Interested
candidates should send their application material, including CV/resume, list of
publications, a statement of research interests as well as the contact
information of three references, to seok-yong.lee@duke.edu
