A postdoctoral research position is available in a research program focusing on the structure and function of G protein-coupled glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor, an important drug target for Type 2 diabetes. The goal of this program is to understand the detailed molecular basis of ligand binding and activation of the GLP1 receptor using unique photochemical techniques, as well as molecular biological, biochemical, and cell biological approaches (JBC, 279:31177, 2004; Mol Endocrinol, 22:1489, 2008).

Ideal candidates should hold an M.D. or a Ph.D. degree, be highly motivated and have demonstrated excellence in receptor biology or structural characterization of membrane proteins.

Salary will be determined by the candidate's experience. There is an attractive benefit package. Mayo Clinic is a non-profit organization that integrates research with clinical practice and education.
