Institution

Drexel University College of Medicine

Position

Postdoctoral Scientists - Molecular - Structural Biology and Peptidomimetic Approaches to the Design and Mechanism-of Action of AIDS Entry Inhibitors

Location

Philadelphia PA 19102 United States

Date Posted

Sep 25 2007

Description

We seek postdoctoral scientist candidates who have expertise in the fields of (1) molecular biology – structural biology of proteins, (2) peptide and peptidomimetics chemistry and (3) biophysical studies of protein interactions. We use a multidisciplinary strategy that includes mutagenic modification of protein targets, structure-based and phage library approaches to antagonist design, surface plasmon resonance interaction analysis and other biophysical methods for mechanism-or-action studies.

Candidates should have a proven ability to investigate such problems as protein structure-function relationships at a molecular/biophysical level and peptidomimetic design/synthesis, and an interest to study structure-based protein interaction and antagonism mechanisms in disease.

Contact

Interested candidates should send resumes and names/contact information for 3 referees to the address below.
