A post-doctoral position in protein crystallography is immediately available at Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine\/Samsung Biomedical Research institute in Suwon, Korea. The lab is studying structural aspects of protein process including protein synthesis, folding and degradation. In addition, several proteins relevant to human health and disease are being studied for structure-based drug discovery. Excellent collaborative opportunities also exist within Samsung Biomedical Research institute on novel proteins. The crystallographic projects will be complemented by functional experiments using molecular biology and biochemistry, as well as alternative biophysical techniques. Hence, the applicant will be exposed to a variety of disciplines.<\/p>\n
The unit is newly equipped with its own state of the art X-ray facility comprising a Rigaku rotating anode X-ray generator, R-Axis IV dual imaging plate detector with confocal mirror optics, and X-stream cryo-cooling system. Recent crystallographic studies in the lab also have utilized synchrotron sources in Pohang Synchrotron Light Source (Korea), USA (NSLS and ALS) and in Japan (spring-8 and Photon Factory). There are excellent facilities for molecular biology, protein overexpression, and biochemistry in the unit.
\nThe applicant should have a PhD in crystallography, or a related research area such as chemistry, biophysics, biochemistry or molecular biology. Macromolecular crystallographers as well as other scientists who have an interest in structure biology are encouraged to apply. Interested applicants please send a CV with the names of three references to address below. E-mail inquiries about the position are welcome.<\/p>\n
