Our lab dedicates to understand transcriptional regulation using X-ray crystallography, computational and biochemical approaches. We are interested in how transcription factors and cofactors work together to form high-order regulatory assemblies on gene promoters in eukaryote cells. We also investigate how the extracellular signals are sensed and transferred to a specific set of transcription factors in prokaryote cells. These processes involve ligand-protein and protein-protein interactions that are tightly associated with cell membranes. For some details, please see http://aidonghanlab.com. Those who have a recent Ph.D in biology, bioinformatics or chemistry are welcome. Experience in protein biochemistry and/or cell biology is in higher priority. Training in crystallography is a big plus, but not required.
Xiamen island is the most beautiful city, and Xiamen University has a scenic university campus. It is also so comfortable to live that it grows with large foreigner communities. Please see university and Xiamen infomation links.
Successful candidates will be provided with a standard package of at least 160,000 RMB a year from Xiamen University, including an apartment, medical insurance and family assistance. In particular, those who recently graduate from world top 100 universities are qualified for a stimulatory salary of 200,000 RMB a year. If interested, please send your CV and contacts of 3 referees to Dr. Aidong Han through ahan@xmu.edu.cn.
