A postdoctoral research associate position with competitive salary and benefit
is available in Dr. Limei Zhang’s group for highly motivated candidates who are
interested in structural biology, redox biology and/or infectious disease. The
Zhang Group applies a suite of interdisciplinary tools to investigate the
structure-mechanism relationships of proteins in redox reactions, stress
responses and antibiotic resistance, with funding support from NSF and NIH. For
more information about the Zhang Group, please visit the website:
https://biochem.unl.edu/limei-zhang. Job responsibility: We seek a postdoc to
investigate the roles and underlying mechanism of metalloproteins in redox
stress response and antibiotic resistance. The duties of the postdoctoral
fellow include independently design and conduct high-quality research
experiments for the assigned project under the supervisor’s guidance; analyze
data and draft manuscripts for publication; take roles in the lab maintenance
with other group members; and assist the supervisor to mentor undergraduate and
graduate students.
Qualification: The required qualifications include a recent Ph.D. degree (or
expected soon) in biochemistry, biophysics, chemistry, microbiology or a
related field; a strong record in conducting high-quality research. Preferred
qualifications include expertise in either biophysics, protein biochemistry or
advanced molecular biology; excellent communication skills; ability to work
cooperatively on multidisciplinary projects; and experience in mentoring. The
University of Nebraska-Lincoln is located in a vibrant and safe city offering
an outstanding and affordable quality of life, and numerous multi-cultural and
entertainment benefits. The Redox Biology Center is organized as a broad-based
interdisciplinary and multi-institutional entity involving researchers from the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Nebraska Medical Center in
Omaha, and offers a supportive and collaborative international environment as
well as access to cutting edge proteomics, metabolomics, crystallography, and
NMR facilities. Recognizing that diversity within a context of inclusivity
enhances creativity, innovation, impact, and a sense of belonging, the
Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources (IANR) and the Department of
Biochemistry are committed to creating learning, research, Extension
programming, and work environments that are inclusive of all forms of human
diversity. We actively encourage applications from and nominations of
individuals from underrepresented groups.
