Hi All,
We currently have a Postdoctoral Fellowship position in protein crystallography and drug discovery that is available as a joint position in the labs of Dr. Jianjun Chen, Chair of Department of Systems Biology and Director of Center for RNA Biology and Therapeutics, and Dr. Jeff Perry, Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Diagnostics and Experimental Therapeutics, at City of Hope Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.
The research is focused on fragment – and small molecule-based drug discovery approaches against RNA/DNA epigenetic targets, RNA methylation and post-transcriptional regulation. The research includes determining crystal structures of fragment, RNA probe, and small molecule:protein target co-complexes and using biophysical approaches, including thermal shift assays, isothermal calorimetry and/or surface plasmon resonance.
For consideration, please send a single PDF that includes your CV, a cover letter briefly highlighting your previous research accomplishments and future research goals, and contact information of three scientific mentors (references) to Dr. Jianjun Chen at jianchen@coh.org and Dr. Jeff Perry at jperry@coh.org
Thank you,
Jeff Perry
