Faculty and Research Openings Currently Available:
Post-Doctoral Research Position A full-time Research Associate postdoctoral position is available beginning immediately in the Rettie laboratory in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Washington, Seattle. Our NIH-funded work focuses on understanding the interaction of coumarin anticoagulants with their enzyme target - vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) - and how interactions are modified by both VKOR genetics and ligand structure across this class of drugs. A Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular biology or related field is required. Experience in, but not limited to, cloning, expression, purification and characterization of integral membrane proteins, is essential. Opportunities exist within this project to be part of a multidisciplinary team that aims to develop and test structural models for the enzyme, which could involve NMR and/or mass spectrometry techniques. While a working knowledge of quantitative analytical methodologies is desirable, it is not required. The University of Washington provides an outstanding research environment. We are seeking creative, highly motivated individuals who are capable of conducting research independently in a highly interactive environment. Applicants should submit their CVs, contact information for three references, and brief descriptions of their current research to Professor Allan E. Rettie, Ph.D., rettie@u.washington.edu. Applications will be accepted from November 1, 2009 until the position is filled. University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research, and service. The University of Washington is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.
Biophysical Postdoctoral Positions Two biophysical postdoctoral positions are available beginning June 2009 in the new "Biophysical Core" of the Center for Intracellular Delivery of Biologics at the University of Washington. This core will serve University of Washington investigators as well as regional academic labs and scientists at biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies. The scientists will conduct research in one of two related projects: either (i) antibody structure-function and clearance, or (ii) the use of viral particles as nano-delivery vehicles. In addition, the candidates will spend 25% of their time providing expertise and assistance to core facility users. Experience in, but not limited to, analytical ultracentrifugation, surface plasmon resonance, titrating calorimetry, and scanning calorimetry is required. For additional information, or to apply, contact: Professor Carlos E. Catalano, Pharm.D., Ph.D. Professor William M. Atkins, Ph.D.
The University of Washington is committed to enhancing diversity among our students, staff, and faculty, and is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer.
