Post-Doctoral Fellow - Fuglestad Lab
About The Position
The Wistar Institute has an opening for a Post-Doctoral Fellow to join the laboratory of Dr. Brian Fuglestad within the Center for Advanced Therapeutics. The Fuglestad lab is interested in expanding molecular study of peripheral membrane proteins and enabling new strategies in drug development for this difficult category of protein. Their approach is rooted in detailed structural and biophysical investigation of fundamental protein function, information that is used to better understand peripheral membrane proteins as drug targets and to guide inhibitor design efforts. Their new approach opens a wide range of proteins and diseases to new therapeutic potential. We are seeking a highly motivated Post-Doctoral Fellow to explore peripheral membrane proteins using structural and biophysical techniques. The goal is to understand biological and disease mechanisms and to inform drug discovery efforts for peripheral membrane proteins. In addition, we will advance the study of this class of proteins by developing unique new technologies.
Requirements
- PhD in Biophysics, Biochemistry, or related fields.
- Experience in protein structural biology and/or biophysics.
- At least one first-author peer-reviewed publication.
