An NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available immediately for a
highly motivated individual with a strong interest in structure and
function of membrane transport proteins. This collaborative project will
be done in the laboratories of Dr. Jeff Abramson (Department of
Physiology) and Dr. Ira Kurtz (Department of Nephrology) at the
University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). The project aims to
elucidate the structure and function from members of the Anion Exchanger
(AE) Family. These proteins perform essential roles in physiology and
are implicated in a number of diseases most notably erythroid disorders,
ovalocytosis, or distal renal tubular acidosis.
The successful applicant will hold a PhD and or MD and have
ample knowledge in modern macromolecular crystallographic methods as
well as experience in data collection and processing. Knowledge of
membrane protein expression/purification and/or mammalian cell culture
would be a plus. The candidate must possess excellent written and oral
communication skills, and will be expected to work in a diverse and
highly collaborative environment.
The Labs are well equipped for structural biology including
state-of-the-art crystallization robotics. We also have full access to
the Molecular Biology Institute's (MBI) X-ray core facility featuring a
Rigaku FRD generator using the RAXIS IV++ and Quantum 4 CCD detectors.
There is a large computational cluster and monthly access to the ALS
synchrotron in Berkeley, California. UCLA has a strong and highly
collaborative macromolecular crystallography program in place with 6
faculty and 50 students, staff and postdocs.
Los Angeles is a cosmopolitan city with 330 days a year of
perfect weather. Sunny beaches and hiking trails are just a few minutes
away and skiing within hours. There are also number of museums and
playhouses within walking distance from the university.
Funding support is for a minimum of 2 years through the
NIH-T32 training grant mechanism. Eligible trainees must have received
their degree within the past 3 years and be a US citizen or have a green
card.

If interested, please send a CV, three references, and a cover letter
explaining your research interests to Jeff Abramson:
jabramson@mednet.ucla.edu

Applications will be reviewed as they are received and until the
position is filled. UCLA is an equal opportunity employer
committed to diversity. Please bring this ad to the attention of any
qualified candidate.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jeff Abramson
