New Postdoc Opening in Experimental NMR: join us!

We’re looking for a highly motivated Ph.D. to fill a recently funded postdoctoral associate position to conduct structural studies on non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases and their complexes with substrates and inhibitors using high‑resolution NMR spectroscopy and other biophysical methods.  The research will address central questions about substrate recognition, the regulation by phosphorylation of kinase‑protein interactions, and inhibitors for drug development.  The candidate will use multidimensional NMR spectroscopy and other biophysical techniques to decipher structure and conformational dynamics for the purpose of aiding inhibitor design and understanding the molecular basis of cellular function. The research is in close collaboration with cell biologists and chemical biologists, with potential for drug discovery in infectious disease or cancer.

Applicants are anticipated to have a strong background in biological NMR spectroscopy and general biophysical understanding of macromolecules.  A proficiency in biochemistry and protein expression and purification is desired.  Applicants should be self‑motivated, able to work in a team environment, and be reasonably skilled in oral and written scientific presentations in English. 

Qualified, enthusiastic Ph.D. researchers should submit the following documents to Professor Carol Post (cbp@purdue.edu):

• Cover letter briefly describing research experience
• Curriculum vitae
• Contact information for three references

Salary and Purdue University benefits (health insurance, vacation days, sick leave, etc) will apply.  Purdue University is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer.  All members of the Post lab are expected to value diversity and inclusion, and will be treated with respect and provided the opportunity to achieve their full potential toward career development.
