We seek a research fellow or assistant
professor applicant to engage in an integrative structural biology study of a
cellular signaling pathway (e.g., GPCR signaling cascades). The candidate will
contribute to the collaboration between the Sali research group at University
of California, San Francisco, USA (http://salilab.org) and the Stevens
research group at iHuman Institute of ShanghaiTech University, Shanghai, China
(http://www.shanghaitech.edu.cn/en/en_iHuman_Overview.asp). The
goal will be to develop a spatiotemporal model of the selected system, based on
data from a variety of experimental techniques, such as X-ray crystallography,
NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, super resolution optical microscopy, and
others, generated at iHuman. The prerequisites include a background in
computational structural biology, experience with designing and coding computational
algorithms, statistical mechanics, and statistics, as well as willingness to
learn about integrative structural biology methods and applications in the Sali
laboratory. The fellow will spend considerable time initially at UCSF,
transitioning into a tenure track faculty position at iHuman. The position will
be funded for 5 years at a very competitive international faculty startup
level. Please email your cover letter, including a cv and names of at least 3
referees, to Andrej Sali (sali@salilab.org)
or Ray Stevens (stevens@shangaitech.edu.cn).
