job description:
A postdoctoral research position is immediately available in the laboratory of Dr. Eric R. Schreiter, at the University of Puerto Rico – Rio Piedras Campus, to study the effects of S-nitrosylation on protein structure and function at the molecular level. Applicants should possess a PhD in a relevant field (chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology, etc.) and ideally have experience in structural characterization of macromolecules using x-ray crystallography. Experience in protein biochemistry and other biophysical techniques for characterizing proteins is also highly desirable. Excellent communication skills, motivation and the ability to work as part of a team are required.
The PI’s laboratory is equipped with state of the art instrumentation for macromolecular x-ray crystallography, including a Rigaku RU-H3R X-ray generator with a CCD detector and X-stream 2000 low temperature system as well as high-throughput crystallization robotics. The Rio Piedras Campus of the University of Puerto Rico is its flagship campus for basic science research and is only two miles away from the Medical Sciences Campus, accessible by train. It is located in San Juan, Puerto Rico, which offers a warm climate year-round and an abundance of outdoor activities in close proximity. Puerto Rico uses both Spanish and English as official languages, but laboratory business is conducted primarily in English.
