PostDoctoral Fellowship at NICHD, Bethesda

NICHD, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area

The research group of Dr. Anirban Banerjee at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking candidates for postdoctoral fellows to start from October, 2012 or later. The broad interests of the lab are in membrane protein structure and function. We will combine structural techniques such as macromolecular crystallography with biophysical and biochemical methods such as reconstitution based biochemistry, mechanistic biochemistry and synthetic chemistry to investigate the structural basis of the mechanisms of a number of membrane proteins including channels and transporters. We are also specifically interested in understanding how membrane lipids interact with and influence membrane protein structure and function and will develop tools towards approaching this problem from a structural and functional perspective.

The lab has state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. We have dedicated periodic access to the 23-ID beamline at the APS, for crystallographers at the NIH. The lab will be in The Cell Biology and Metabolism Program (CBMP), which is a part of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD). Our lab will also have an affiliation to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).

Requirements:

The candidates should hold a Ph. D. degree, must be motivated and have a strong background in biochemistry or structural biology with less than five years of postdoctoral experience. Experience with protein expression, purification and biochemical characterization is required. Prior experience in protein crystallography or membrane protein biochemistry or insect/mammalian expression systems will be added advantages.

To Apply:

Please e-mail a CV and cover letter with a brief description of research experience and interests to anirbn@gmail.com.

PostDoctoral fellowship at National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences , NIH

National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, NC

Applications are invited from epidemiologists interested in methods and biostatisticians interested in epidemiology for a postdoctoral fellowship focused on breast cancer. This position is under the direction of Clarice Weinberg at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIH), located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The successful candidate will carry out epidemiological and methodological research based on the recently completed Two Sister Study, a family-based study of genetic and environmental risk factors for young-onset (under 50) breast cancer. In addition to extensive questionnaire data from some 1400 sister case-control pairs, DNA samples were collected from them and from available parents, and genotypes for more than a million SNPs will offer a unique opportunity to detect joint effects of genetic and nongenetic factors. Family-based analyses also enable assessment of parent-of-origin effects and maternal effects in the etiology of young-onset breast cancer. Related research using the Sister Study, a prospective cohort study of more than 50,000 women will also be possible. See http://sisterstudy.org/English/index1.htm for more information about the sister studies, or contact Dr. Weinberg at weinber2@niehs.nih.gov.

Applicants should have a doctoral degree (or be near completion) in epidemiology or in biostatistics. Training and experience in genetic epidemiology is a plus but is not required. Stipends are determined by degree(s) and years of relevant postdoctoral experience; annual increases are available. Medical insurance is provided. The initial appointment is for 2 years, with extension possible for up to 5 years. Noncitizens are welcome to apply.

Applicants should send the following items to weinber2@niehs.nih.gov
• Letter describing areas of research interest
• Curriculum vitae with bibliography
• Contact information for 3 individuals serving as references.
