A postdoctoral fellow position is available at the Molecular Therapeutic Program Fox Chase Cancer Center (Philadelphia, PA) for a highly-motivated individual in the field of structural biology and molecular biology.
The main focus of the lab is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying cell adhesion and migration that are mediated by integrin signaling and/or small GTPase signaling. They employ a combination of techniques including protein crystallography, electron microscopy, binding kinetics analysis, functional assays in mammalian cells, and genetic analysis. Their study will facilitate efforts to discover novel targets for therapeutic intervention of immune system disorders, tumor metastasis, and many other related diseases. More details can be found HERE. The lab is equipped with a Mosquito® crystallization robot, a Rock Imager for automatic crystal imaging, an in-house X-ray diffractometer, three AKTA purification systems, and other general biochemistry equipment.
The candidate should be experienced in protein biochemistry, X-ray crystallography, and molecular biology. Prior experiences in cell signaling and cancer biology are desired but not required. Fox Chase Cancer Center is a long-standing NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center with multidisciplinary research interests from basic biological sciences to drug development and clinical studies. The institute is one of the top-ranked work places for visiting scholars and postdoctoral researchers. Fox Chase strictly follows the NIH guideline for the salary level of all postdoctoral researchers. We also offer an outstanding research environment and strong support for the career development for our scientists.
Please send a cover letter describing previous research experience and current interests, a current CV, and a list of three references to: Jinhua.wu(at)fccc.edu.
