POST-DOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE:
Two positions will be available in the summer of 2004 for postdoctoral researchers in various research projects in the Moremen lab. Please see the descriptions of ongoing lab research projects HERE. Applicants with 0-3 years post-doctoral experience are preferred, although applicants with greater experience will also be given consideration. One position will require experience with recombinant protein expression of mammalian cDNAs in fungal and mammalian systems as well as protein purification and characterization (enzyme assays and kinetic analysis). Experience in N-linked oligosaccharide isolation and characterization would be preferred but not required. The second position will emphasize structural biology, requiring a candidate with knowledge of crystallographic techniques including data processing, phase determination and improvement, model building, and protein structure refinement. Candidates having strong skills in molecular biology and protein biochemistry with an interest in learning the techniques for structural biology will also be considered. The latter position will be in collaboration with the lab of Dr. B.C. Wang, Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Director of the UGA X-ray Crystallography Center

RESEARCH TECHNICIAN POSITION AVAILABLE:
Positions available for one or more research technicians working on a variety of projects relating to glycoprotein biosynthesis, glycoprotein catabolism, or carbohydrate binding proteins. Please see the descriptions of ongoing lab research projects HERE. Experience is preferred but not required in recombinant DNA methods, microbial techniques, and protein purification/characterization. Projects will include preparation of cDNA expression constructs, maintenance of mammalian and fungal cultures, and protein purification and characterization. A B.S. in a biological science is required.
