A postdoctoral fellow/scientist or research associate position is available in Qing Fan’s lab at Columbia University Medical Center. We study the structure and function of cell surface receptors using a combination of x-ray crystallography and biochemical methods. The successful candidate will focus on the expression and purification of several receptors using recombinant systems, and crystallization of the target proteins for structure determination. Ideally the candidate should have a strong background in molecular biology and protein biochemistry. Prior experience with large-scale protein production is preferred. Knowledge of x-ray crystallography is not required. Columbia University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer.
