We are looking for a coworker with solid background in chemical biology ( organic sythesis and molecular biology), or a coworker with previous experiences in phage display, yeast surface display or mammalian cell genetics (cell culture, cell sorting and genetic modification). Please submit your application to h********[email protected] The position is initially for one year with a possibility to extension, starting as soon as possible. The Ai lab at UC Riverside is specialized in protein engineering, in particular, fluorescent proteins and protein synthesis machineries. We can genetically encode nonnative amino acids using orthogonal tRNA/synthetase pairs derived from extensive protein engineering. We are interested in pushing this technique forward (protein labeling, fluorescent probes and therapeutic reagents). We are also, in general, interested in the development of new methods for protein engineering (by coupling computational and experimental approaches) Qualifications required: PhD degree in a relevant area (at least 3 first author publications in professional journals). Personal qualities such as being self-motivated and thorough with a strong passion for innovation and method development are required. Application should include: •Cover letter describing your research interest and why you are suitable for this position (maximum 1 page). •CV including a list of relevant publications. •Names, e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers for academic references/recommendation letters. The position will be paid by following the NIH pay scale. Priority will be given to fresh Ph.D. graduates. Candidates with a master's degree can also be considered (as lab technicians). However, it is difficult to process H1 visa through the UC system. So if your visa needs to be sponsored, it is likely to be J1.
