[ccp4bb]: Postdoctoral Positions Available at Florida State University

[Hong Li <hongli@mailer.sb.fsu.edu>]

Applications are invited for
postdoctoral positions in Dr. Hong Li’s group to work on protein-RNA
complexes involved in RNA processing. Several crystals containing
protein-protein and protein-RNA complexes are available for immediate
crystallographic analysis. Recent Ph.D graduates with experience in x-ray
crystallography are encouraged to apply. Experience in protein or RNA
biochemistry and purification is an advantage.

The Institute of Molecular Biophysics at FSU has four crystallographic
groups with diverse interests that include structure-function studies of
nucleic acid proteins, protein engineering, virus structures, and
diffraction physics. In addition, the Institute hosts a wide range of
other biophysical groups, that employ cyroEM, NMR, EPR, CD,
computational  and time-resolved laser spectroscopy methods. The
institute of Molecular Biophysics provides a unique interdisciplinary and
collaborative environment for rich scientific interactions. 

Our X-ray crystallography facilities include two Rigaku generators and an
Elliott generator with fine focusing, two detectors, an R-axis IIc
detector and a MAR165 charge coupled device (CCD) detector. Each detector
is equipped with an Osmic Confocal mirror and Oxford cryo systems. We are
also part of the south-eastern consortium for the third generation
synchrotron source at the Advanced Photon Source with approximately 5
full days per year automatic beam-time allocation. In addition, our
laboratory is equipped with the state-of-art facilities for protein
expression/purification and RNA biochemistry.
