********************************************* Postdoctoral positions in structural biology Two postdoctoral positions are available to study the structure of proteins from alphaviruses (e.g., Venezuelan equine encephalitis, Semliki Forest) and flaviviruses (e.g., Dengue fever, Yellow fever) and to design antiviral agents directed against viral attachment and replication. The latter study will utilize both combinatorial approaches and structural-based methods. These projects are funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA, see Science, 275, pp. 744-746) and provide unique opportunities to participate in a highly focused interdisciplinary research program involving structural biologists from the Sealy Center for Structural Biology and virologists from the WHO Center for Tropical Diseases. Candidates should have research experience in either X-ray crystallography, molecular biology or protein biochemistry. Facilities include state-of-the-art laboratories for X-ray cryocrystallography, Biosafety level 3 experiments, large-scale bacterial cell growth, Sf9 insect cell growth, tissue culture and protein analysis. Instrumentation available for structural studies includes two MacScience 30 cm imaging plate detectors, two rotating anode X-ray generators, Varian UNITYplus 750, 600 and wide-bore 400 Hz spectrometers, SGI multiprocessor computers and a Cray J90 supercomputer. Applicants should send a CV, list of publications, statement of research interests, and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of three references to: Dr. Stan Watowich Sealy Center for Structural Biology Department of Human Biological Chemistry and Genetics University of Texas Medical Branch Galveston, TX 77555-0645 U.S.A.
