Think Beyond The Label Jobs

JOB REQUIREMENTS: Position Description: We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our structural biology-focused research group. Our research centers on the structural determination and dynamic studies of members of the class A GPCR family of proteins. These proteins are crucial in cell signaling and are primary targets in drug development. Using advanced technologies in X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM combined with biochemical approaches, our goal is to enhance the understanding of GPCR functions. By delineating the biochemical distinctions between closely related family members, we aim to employ rational drug design techniques to develop therapeutics with fewer or less debilitating side effects for patients and their families. Purpose The Structural Biology Initiative at the Medical College of Wisconsin seeks a postdoctoral fellow with experience or interest in structure-based drug discovery research. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in related biomedical science field. We also seek candidates from broad areas (e.g., biophysics, biochemistry, cell biology, computational biology) with new ideas and interests in structural biology. Characteristics of a postdoctoral appointment: It is expected that postdocs at MCW, with the assistance of their supervisor, will: Transition to career independence through developing professional skills that enable the postdoc to actively pursue a career of his/her own choosing. Be supervised by at least one senior scholar who actively promotes the postdoc\'s professional development. Establish an individual development plan (IDP) that incorporates equally the postdoc\'s career and training goals and the mentor\'s research goals. Pursue basic, clinical, or translational projects so long as effort is focused primarily on research. Publish results of the postdoc\'s research and scholarship during their appointment. The postdoctoral appointment is temporary by nature. The aggregate amount of time spent as a postdoc is recommended not to exceed five years (not including family medical or maternity/paternity leave). As postdocs are important members of the host institution\'s community, appropriate levels of compensation, health care, and other benefits commensurate with their essential status should be afforded, independent of the postdoc\'s source of funding. Primary Functions Plan, design and execute complex research studies, procedures and protocols. Participate in discovery projects. Coordinate research study activities: lead and manage projects. Oversee organization, synthesis and analysis of data and findings. Prepare scientific reports, outcome findings and... For full info follow application link.
