Postdoctoral Fellow or Staff Scientist - Protein Chemistry, Crystallography and Structure Deter

Position:
Postdoctoral Fellow or Staff Scientist at John Williams research lab, Beckman Research Institute, City of Hope.

Research primarily focuses on structural and biophysical methods to identify sources of energy additivity and multivalency in macromolecular complexes and to develop new tools and novel therapeutics.

• Determine structure of modified antibodies with immune receptors
• Apply yeast display to stabilize and subsequently deimmunize proteases
• Create additional antibody variants to maximize therapeutic activity in a clinical setting

• Ph.D. degree in chemistry, biochemistry, structural biology, biophysics or a related discipline is required.
• Knowledge of protein engineering (cloning, expression, purification), crystallography (crystallization, optimization, data collection, and structure determination), biochemistry (enzyme kinetics), and biophysics (Surface Plasmon Resonance and Isothermal Titration Calorimetry).

• To apply, send CV or resume to Dr. John Williams at jcwilliams for consideration.
• Candidates will be assessed for the suitable level based on relevant experience.
• Postdoctoral Fellow – Pay Rate: $34.00 – $37.54
• Staff Scientist – Pay Rate: $38.67 – $123.37
