Postdoctoral Associate, Structural Biology Department

• Position Title: Postdoctoral Associate, Structural Biology Department
• Department: Structural Biology Department
• Posting Link: https://(Use the "Apply for this Job" box below)./64378
• Job Type: Full-Time

A Postdoctoral Research Associate position is available for an NIH-funded position in the lab of Prof. Andrew Gulick within the Department of Structural Biology, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University at Buffalo.

The Gulick Lab investigates the structural enzymology of proteins involved in the biosynthesis of bacterial natural products. Through combinations of structural biology, biochemical characterization, protein engineering, and biocatalysis, we aim to explore the ability of bacteria to produce diverse small molecules that are produced to help them adapt to the challenges of surviving in diverse environments.

The postdoctoral associate will be responsible for: protein production, purification, and analysis, including development and implementation of biochemical assaysinformatic and genome mining to identify, characterize, and understand the diverse biosynthetic pathways of bacterial sources protein structure determination through X-ray crystallography and/or cryo-electron microscopy and single particle analysis

Data analysis, maintenance, and interpretation, including contributions on authoring publications and dissemination of research

Our benefits, where we prioritize your well-being and success to enhance every aspect of your life. Being a part of the University at Buffalo community.

The Research Foundation of SUNY is an EOE and welcomes all to apply including veterans and individuals with a disability.

• PhD in Biochemistry, Chemistry, or related field
• Background in protein biochemistry, enzymology, biophysical analysis, or structural biology
