Postdoctoral Fellow or Staff Scientist - Protein Chemistry, Crystallography and Structure Determination

Thank you for your interest. Please note, the purpose of this posting is to recruit for on-going and future positions.

Join the forefront of groundbreaking research at the Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope, where we're changing lives and making a real difference in the fight against cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. Our dedicated and compassionate faculty and staff are driven by a common mission: Contribute to innovative approaches in predicting, preventing, and curing diseases, shaping the future of medicine through cutting-edge research.

The John Williams research lab at City of Hope is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow or a Staff Scientist to join an innovative team. Our research primarily focuses on structural and biophysical methods to identify sources of energy additivity and multivalency in macromolecular complexes and use these properties to develop new tools and novel therapeutics.

As a successful candidate, you will:

* Determine structure of modified antibodies with immune receptors

* Apply yeast display to stabilize and subsequent deimmunize proteases

* Create additional antibody variants to maximize the therapeutic activity in a clinical setting

Your qualifications should include:

* Ph.D. degree chemistry, biochemistry, structural biology, biophysics or a related discipline is required.

* Knowledge of protein engineering (cloning, expression, purification), crystallography (crystallization, optimization, data collection and structure determination), biochemistry (enzyme kinetics) and biophysics (Surface Plasmon Resonance, Iosthermal Ttitration Calorimetry

Additional Information:

* To apply to the position, please send your CV or resume to Dr. John Williams at jcwilliams@coh.org for consideration.

* Candidates will be assessed for the suitable level based on their relevant experience.

* Postdoctoral Fellow - Pay Rate: $34.00 - $37.54

* Staff Scientist - Pay Rate: $38.67 - $123.37
