Two postdoctoral research scientist positions are available at Columbia University Medical Center. The first is a joint position between Dr. Qing Fan and Dr. Charles Zuker’s labs. The second is primarily in Dr. Fan’s lab. We study the structure and function of cell surface receptors using a combination of x-ray crystallography and biochemical methods. The successful candidate will focus on the expression and purification of several receptors using recombinant systems, and crystallization of the target proteins for structure determination. The candidate should have a strong background in molecular biology and protein biochemistry. Extensive research experience in large-scale protein production and crystallization is required. Prior experience with membrane protein and cell-based functional analysis is preferred. Knowledge of x-ray crystallography is not necessary. Columbia University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer.
