Position Title: Postdoctoral Associate, Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute Posting Number: R2000171 Employer: Research Foundation Salary Range: $50,000 FTE: 1.00 Position Summary: A Postdoctoral Associate position is available based at the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute (HWI) and affiliated with the University at Buffalo. We are looking for a highly motivated structural biologist with an interest in metalloproteins and methods development to join a project with the Snell and Bowman laboratories involving the structural study of biological systems that are impacted by free radical activity and metalloproteins, where the modeled metal and/or coordination state are of interest for further investigation. The work will involve a collaboration with laboratories at Stanford and Oxford and will use X-ray crystallography, UV-spectroscopy, and micro-PIXE techniques. The eventual aim involves structural studies using X-ray free electron sources for radiation chemistry free data. It is possible that neutron studies would also take place. The position involves working directly with the Crystallization Center at the Institute and will have access to a Glacios cryo-EM with Falcon 4 detector. The Institute runs the IMCA beamline at the Advanced Photon Source. It is anticipated that multiple structural techniques will be employed, and while the candidate should have structural biology expertise, they are not expected to be proficient in all structural biology techniques. Molecular biology expertise is required to produce target proteins and complexes. Many techniques will be employed and due to the nature of the project, the position will be offered for three years. Outstanding Benefits Package About UB As an Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action employer, the Research Foundation will not discriminate in its employment practices due to an applicant's race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin and veteran or disability status Minimum Qualifications: A conferred doctoral degree by the time of appointment is a related field. Preferred Qualifications: In-depth knowledge of structural biology and the production of proteins. Deadline for Applicants: Open Until Filled Quicklink for Posting: 26913
