Postdoctoral Position in Molecular Medicine and Structural Biology - University of Iowa

Hello. The University of Iowa are looking for a post-doc (advertised on naturejobs.com)

"""
Description

The Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology and Center for Gene Therapy at the University of Iowa is looking for Postdoctoral Scholar interested in pursuing a career investing molecular mechanisms of redox-mediated neurodegenerative diseases and the development of pharmacologic and gene based therapies. Successful candidates should have a strong biochemical background in protein structure including: NMR, X-ray crystallography, and/or Mass Spectrometry. Projects will focus on elucidating molecular interactions that dysregulate NADPH oxidases in the context of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (J Clin Invest, 2007 117:2913-2919; J Clin Invest, 2008 118:659-670) and the development of therapies. Postdoctoral scholars will benefit from a large number of interactive faculty and state-of-the-art research core laboratories (http://www.healthcare.uiowa.edu/corefacilities/) that create an extremely supportive environment for interdisciplinary molecular medicine research. Career opportunities for strong candidates to move projects into their own laboratory are expected. Successful applicants will receive competitive salaries commensurate with research experience and must be U.S. residents or hold a green card necessary for training grant eligibility. A Ph.D., M.D., D.V.M., or equivalent degree(s) is required for consideration.

The University of Iowa is situated in Iowa City, Iowa, a medium-sized mid-western city of approximately 75,000 people. Iowa City is culturally very rich, maintaining outstanding communities in the arts, sciences, and literature. USA Today listed Iowa City as the third best-educated city in the nation (2003), AARP Magazine ranked Iowa City in the top 15 livable towns (2004), and Forbes Magazine ranked Iowa City among the top 10 small metropolitan areas for business (2004). Another very important attribute of Iowa City is that it is a very safe and inexpensive place in which to live with an easy commute to the University from anywhere in the City.

Application, including curriculum vitae and names of three references, should be sent to:

John F. Engelhardt, Ph.D.
