Research Scientist
Research Scientist to use various X-ray diffraction
techniques to determine the crystalline structures of various
bio-molecules which occur in the bacterial flagella/chemotactic
process. Performs cloning and DNA manipulation, isolation
of proteins, protein-crystallographic structure analysis,
studies of biochemical properties and protein activity to
determine the related biological functions of protein-protein
interactions and protein-DNA interactions. Performs phenotypic
analysis, manipulation of chromosome by transposon mutagenesis,
site-directed (ie alanine scanning mutagenesis) and random
mutagenesis and suppression analysis in performance of duties.
Requires Ph.D. degree in Biology or any Biomedical concentration
and one year direct experience.

Postdoctoral Associates
NIH funded post-doctoral positions are available for research
on the mechanism of bacterial chemotaxis. The structure and
dynamics of motor and receptor assemblies are being studied
by electron microscopy, spectroscopy and single cell imaging.
Individuals with an interest in structural biology and / or
biophysical chemistry are encouraged to apply. Candidates
should have a research background in prokaryotic molecular
biology and / or structural biology of macromolecular assemblies.
Computational expertise would be an asset. Salary is negotiable
based on experience.
Research Assistant
Responsibilities entail execution of microscope assays of
the motile behavior of E. coli and maintenance of mutant strains
and plasmid stocks. Candidates should have a B.S or higher
degree.
The Molecular Biology Consortium is an AA/EOE.
