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).
