University of California, Davis, University of California, United States

Application deadline: 28 Feb 2023

The Shabek lab is looking for a postdoctoral fellow with a strong background in structural biology to join immediately with the research group at the University of California, Davis

We use structure- function approaches to study unique signaling pathways and their regulation by the Ubiquitin Proteasome System. We have new funded projects by NSF and DOE.   

Qualifications:

• Must be a recent Ph.D. in Biochemistry and/or Plant Biology and/or Structural Biology
• Experience in molecular biology, protein purification techniques (experience with baculovirus expression is preferred but not required), and protein-protein/molecule interactions.
• Experience in structural biology (X-ray crystallography and/or Cryo-EM). 
• Strong communications skills and ability to train junior scientists

Compensation and benefits for postdocs in UC Davis are the highest in the country. Davis is a beautiful Californian town located near Sacramento, and close to San Francisco, and several National Parks. The Shabek lab has access to ALS beamlines in Berkeley National Labs and SSRL in Stanford, as well as CryoEM facilities (BioEM in Davis or Brookhaven National labs).
