I am working with single moleculedetection of ribosome conformational dynamics during proteinsynthesis. My website can be found in the faculty at http://www.bchs.uh.edu/ The key words are TIRF microscopy, single molecule detection, FRET and protein biosynthesis.
Basically, I wish to have one postdoc to set up the in vitro proteinsynthesis system together with me. I am the expert in this field, sothe postdoc will have a very well defined plan to follow. I knowexactly what I want to do.
I need the person to have basic biological and biochemistry skillslike, cell culture, site direct mutagenesis, protien purification. Newskills can always be developed. So, as long as he/she is a good personwith serious committment to science, previous experience is notessential at all. Ph.D degree is required, though.
What I am doing is truelly inter-disciplinary and the new trend ofresearch. It is challenging but also exiciting. The person join mygroup will have the chance to learn the state-of-art technology as wellas extensive training of biochemistry, biology, physics andspectroscopy. It is a good learning oppotunity.
I wish that you can spread out the message and encourage your students to contact me at ywang60@uh.edu
I would also appreciate you to encourage your students to apply forour Ph.D program. I will be happy to help them get admitted at certainpoint.
