POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN STRUCTURAL BIOPHYSICS Marassi Laboratory – Department of Biophysics – Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW)
Position. The Marassi laboratory, in the Department of Biophysics at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), invites applications for a Postdoctoral position in the area of structural biology based primarily on biomolecular nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Research projects focus on protein-protein, protein-lipid, and protein-biomineral interactions in the context of diseases of aging (macular degeneration and Alzheimer’s disease) and host-pathogen encounters, with a strong focus on cellular and near-native samples.
Remuneration. Competitive and commensurate with years of relevant experience, per the NIH guidelines.
Qualifications. Candidates must have a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry or a closely related field, and should have experience in protein biochemistry and/or biomolecular structure determination. The position is not restricted to U.S. citizens. Women and Minorities are encouraged to apply.
Department of Biophysics. The Department of Biophysics at MCW has a rich history of innovation and unique expertise in the areas of structural biology and biomedical imaging, including EPR (electronic paramagnetic resonance), NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). State-of-the-art research resources are available for NMR in solution and the solid-state, EPR, MRI, X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, biomolecular analysis, and high-performance computing.
