Postdoc in Structure-Based Ligand Discovery
We are recruiting for a post-doctoral position in structure-based ligand discovery in the Shoichet lab at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) (https://bkslab.org/people/current_members).
We are particularly interested in recruiting investigators with protein biochemistry and crystallography backgrounds interested in training in structure-based drug discovery.
Research focuses on developing and testing new ligand discovery methods, with a GPCR focus. Open projects include structure-based discovery of new analgesics, GPCR deorphanization, antiviral discovery against SARS-2, and particularly biophysical testing of new docking methods in experimental model systems. Recent papers include:
Schuller et al., Science Adv 2021
Top facilities are available in a friendly, collaborative environment, and the lab is well-resourced. Stipend and benefits at or above NRSA levels.
If interested please send a cover letter, CV and contact information for three referees to Brian Shoichet (shoichet@cgl.ucsf.edu).
Deadline Aug 15, 2021.
