Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellowships are available immediately in the Protein Chemistry Laboratory to conduct research in the following areas:
1. Complement Inhibitors
The focus of this project is to design structural analogs of Compstatin/other complement inhibitors and test their therapeutic potential. Candidates should have a strong
background in peptide and peptidomimetics syntheses, excellent credentials in general organic methods, and interest in combinatorial chemistry, molecular and structural
biology.
2. Protein-Protein Interactions.
The focus of this project is to study at the molecular level the interactions of C3 with its ligands using various state-of-the-art technologies including, NMR, crystallography, Biacore,
ITC, Mass spectrometry, etc. Candidates should have a strong background in molecular and structural biology, gene expression, and protein biochemistry.
3. Evasion Strategies of Microorganisms
The focus of this project is to study the interactions of HHV8-C’, Vaccinia VCP-C3, HSV gC-C3, and EBV gp350-CR2 interactions with the overall goal of designing agonists and
antagonists with therapeutic potential. Candidates should have a strong background in molecular biology, virology, and protein biochemistry.
4. Complement and Cancer
The focus of this project is to study the role of the complement system in the process of malignant transformation including cell proliferation and loss of differentiation, cell
migration, angiogenesis and tumor immune evasion. Candidates should have a strong background in cellular and molecular biology. Candidates with animal experience and
gene targeting are preferred.
5. Complement and Regeneration
The focus of this project is to study the role of the complement system in the process of liver, limb, and eye regeneration. Candidates should have a strong background in cellular
and molecular biology. Candidates with animal surgical experience are preferred.
6. Evolution of Complement
The focus of this project is to study the evolution of complement. Candidates should have a strong background in protein biochemistry and molecular biology.
7. Proteomics
The candidate will be involved in collaborative research projects applying 2D-Electrophoresis and 2D-LC-MS/MS-based technologies in all the above projects. The candidate
should have a Ph.D. in Biochemistry or a related field, with experience in the following: liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, protein analysis and characterization and/or
bioinformatics. Experience with biological applications of mass spectrometry is a plus.
8. Computational immunophysics
The candidate will be involved in projects aim to understand the physical basis of immune system interactions, using molecular dynamics simulations, electrostatic calculations,
protein docking, and bioinformatics. The candidate should have a Ph.D. in Biophysics, biophysical chemistry, or bioengineering, with strong computational background.
Competence with UNIX operating system and at least one computer language (e.g., C++, FORTRAN) and one scripting language (e.g., PERL, PYTHON) are required. The
successful candidate is a scientist fascinated with biology/immunology, though formal experience in biology/immunology is not necessary.
