GPCR Structural Biology Postdoctoral Position Openings (01-28-2008)

We have several openings for postdoctoral fellows in the area of GPCR structural biology in the Kuhn-Stevens Laboratory at The Scripps Research Institute. With the recent structure determination of the human beta2 adrenergic receptor (Cherezov et al; Rosenbaum et al, Science 2007), we are now interested in studying other G protein-coupled receptors as well as focus on the mechanistic details of a single G protein signal transduction system.

The Kuhn-Stevens laboratory is well equipped with cutting edge technologies in the areas of membrane protein expression, stabilization, and crystallization. Applicants interested in the biology, biochemistry and/or structural biology of this family of membrane proteins are encouraged to apply. Interested applicants should send their CV, statement of research interest, and 3 letters of reference to stevens@scripps.edu.
