Two postdoctoral research associate positions with competitive salary and benefit are immediately available in Dr. Limei Zhang’s group for highly motivated candidates who are interested in structural biology, redox biology and/or infectious disease. The Zhang Group applies a suite of interdisciplinary tools to investigate the structure-mechanism relationships of proteins in redox reactions, stress responses and antibiotic resistance, with the funding support from NSF and NIH. For more information about the Zhang Group, please visit the website: https://biochem.unl.edu/limei-zhang.
Job responsibility: The research for the positions will focus on the roles and underlying mechanism of metalloproteins in redox stress response and antibiotic resistance. The postdoctoral fellow is expected to independently design and conduct high-quality research experiments for the assigned project under the supervisor’s guidance; analyze data and draft manuscripts for publication; take roles in the lab maintenance with other group members; and assist the supervisor to mentor undergraduate and graduate students.
Qualification: Experience in protein biochemistry, a demonstrated track record in conducting high quality research and a passion for learning new techniques are required. Experience in structural biology (X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM or nuclear magnetic resonance) is highly desirable.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is located in a vibrant and safe city offering outstanding and affordable quality of life, and numerous multi-cultural and entertainment benefits. The Redox Biology Center is organized as a broad-based interdisciplinary and multi-institutional entity involving researchers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, and offers supportive and collaborative international environment as well as access to cutting edge proteomics, metabolomics, crystallography, and NMR facilities. We are also expected to have a cryo-EM instrument (Glacios w/Falcon 4i, Selectris EF & Ceta-D camera) installed at UNL in late 2022.
Recognizing that diversity within a context of inclusivity enhances creativity, innovation, impact, and a sense of belonging, the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources (IANR) and the Department of Biochemistry are committed to creating learning, research, Extension programming, and work environments that are inclusive of all forms of human diversity. We actively encourage applications from and nominations of individuals from underrepresented groups.
