The position is available starting immediately in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Southern California and is initially limited to 2 years, with possible extension.
Our research focuses on the structural biology of G protein-coupled receptors involved in neurobiology and immunology, using single particle cryoEM, complemented with biophysical assays.
USC has a suite of research facilities and has recently commissioned a brand-new cryoEM facility:
• CryoEM suite: Titan Krios with GIF Quantum energy filter and K3 detector, Glacios with Falcon 4 detector, Talos Arctica with CCD/side entry holder for NS and screening
• Core facility for insect- and mammalian cell expression
• High performance computing for data processing/analysis
Qualified candidates must have a Ph.D. degree with a solid background in structural biology and biophysics/biochemistry. Previous work with membrane protein purification and experience with cryoEM data analysis is a plus. A successful candidate is expected to be highly skilled and self-motivated and is willing to work in a collaborative environment. The Postdoctoral salary depends on qualifications and relevant experiences according to USC standards.
Interested candidates should apply directly with Cornelius Gati at gati@usc.edu. Please attach a cover letter, Curriculum Vitae, research statement, publication list and a reference letter. There is no deadline for this posting and applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis.
