Postdoctoral Position
Structural Biology of Ribonucleoproteins using solid-state NMR
Silvers Laboratory, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida, USA
The Silvers lab at Florida State University has an opening for a postdoctoral position with experience in using solid-state NMR on peptides and proteins that is available immediately. The successful candidate will participate in projects combining a variety of biophysical methods including solid-state and solution NMR spectroscopy, cryoEM, and X-ray crystallography to investigate protein:RNA and protein:DNA interactions.
About the candidate:
This position requires a PhD in (bio)chemistry, (bio)physics, or a closely related field. Candidates should have a strong background in biomolecular solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Experience in other methods such as solution NMR spectroscopy, general biochemical and biophysical methods, recombinant production of proteins, as well as in vitro biosynthesis of DNA and RNA are of advantage. Furthermore, candidates should be interested in working in a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative environment.
About the location:
The position is located at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at FSU with strong ties to the Institute of Molecular Biophysics and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. The Institute of Molecular Biophysics (IMB) is highly collaborative institute focused on structural biology research. The faculty at the IMB belongs to various departments and utilizes a plethora of structural biology tools including solid-state and solution NMR, X-ray crystallography, and cryo-EM, among others. The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) is the largest and highest-powered magnet laboratory in the world. Every year, more than a thousand scientists from dozens of countries come to use our unique magnets with the support of highly experienced staff scientists and technicians. Several high-field magnets (600-900 MHz) equipped with solution state probes and solid-state probes spinning up to 110kHz are available.
About the position:
The position is initially for 1 year but can be extended to 2 years. Domestic and international candidates are encouraged to apply. Florida State University is an equal opportunity employer and educational provider committed to a policy of non-discrimination for any member of the University’s community.
