| Position Summary | Applicants are invited to apply for a postdoctoral fellowship position in Dr. Hoang’s laboratory at Indiana University School of Medicine. Our research focuses on delineating the molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration. We use a broad range of experimental methods, including molecular dynamic simulation and in silico docking, molecular cloning, protein biochemistry, enzymology, X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy (including cryo-EM), NMR, yeast genetics, mammalian cell models, and C. elgans. Basically, we would go wherever science takes us. Examples of some of the methods that we employ can be gleaned from our prior publications: Hoang QQ et al. Nature. 425: 977-980 (2003); Liao J. et al. PNAS. 111(11):4055-60 (2014), Oh M et al. PNAS. 111(30):11007-12 (2014), Wang W. et al. PNAS. 113(34):9587-92 (2016), Wu et al., JBC 294(15):5907-5913 (2019), and Wu et al., bioRxiv 676627 (2019). As the nation’s largest medical school, IUSM is committed to being an institution that not only reflects the diversity of the learners we teach and the patient populations we serve, but also pursues the values of diversity, equity and inclusion that inform academic excellence. We desire candidates who enhance our representational diversity, as well as those whose work contributes to equitable and inclusive learning and working environments for our students, staff, and faculty. IUSM strives to take an anti-racist stance, regularly evaluating and updating its policies, procedures, and practices to confer equitable opportunities for contribution and advancement for all members of our community. We invite individuals who will join us in our mission to advance racial equity to transform health and wellbeing for all throughout the state of Indiana. |
| Basic Qualifications | Doctoral or terminal degree required. We expect this position to be filled with a recent PhD in biophysics, biochemistry, chemistry, bioengineering, or a related discipline providing solid knowledge of biological macromolecules. Experience in protein expression and purification is essential, as is familiarity with thermodynamics, biochemistry, and quantitative data analysis. We are particularly interested in a person who has expertise in one or more methods mentioned above and is looking to learn new complementary skills to carry out a multidisciplinary investigation into molecular mechanisms of brain degeneration. |
