The Tesmer lab at Purdue University is seeking 1-2 outstanding postdoctoral fellows to work on projects related to structure, function, and small molecule modulation of GPCRs, GPCR kinases, and heterotrimeric G protein effector enzymes. In particular, we are especially interested in interviewing:
- Individuals who have been awarded their Ph.D. in the last year or who will defend their Ph.D. in the next few months.
- Individuals whose thesis work involved the structure and function of macromolecules or eukaryotic signal transduction mechanisms/molecular pharmacology. (Ideally, both!)
- Individuals with strong skills in scientific communication and a strong interest in obtaining extramural support.
Our lab uses several biophysical methods to probe protein structure and function of signaling proteins and their regulatory complexes including cryo-EM single particle analysis and X-ray crystallography. We also have mature drug discovery campaigns as well as those poised for initial screens. Please see our current list of publications on PubMed. We strive for a friendly, stress-free work environment inclusive to all.
To apply, please send:
- A cover letter that states your interests in the lab and a summary of your prior research experience,
- An NIH formatted biosketch, and
- The names of three references to
