Recent PhD with experience in all aspects of macromolecular crystallography to study proteins that are involved in steroid hormone function, short-chair dehydro-genase enzymes, steroid esterases, steriod binding proteins, steroid receptors and cofactors. Salary commensurate with experience. Contact: W. L. Duax, HWI, 73 High Street, Buffalo, NY 14203-1196. Phone: 716-856-9600; FAX: 716-852-6086; duax@hwi.buffalo.edu

Protein crystallographer to work in the new and exciting study of the Targeting Mechanisms of the Protein Kinase C (PKC) and of the cAMP dependent Protein Kinase (PKA). This Targeting Mechanism seems very general and can be applied to other interesting proteins. Very well equipped X ray laboratory and opportunity for collaboration with Prof. Alexandria Newton and Prof. Susan Taylor who are the experts in PKC and PKA.

Candidates should have strong background in Protein Crystallography and in protein cloning and purification. Appointment can be for a 3 year period. Send CV and contact information for three references to Prof. Nguyen-Huu Xuong, Dept. of Chem. & Biochem., U. Calif., San Diego, 9500 Gilman Dr, LaJolla, CA 92093-0359. Phone: 619-534-2501; Fax: 619-534-7042; nxuong@ucsd.edu

Protein crystallographer to study macromolecular complexes and the role of protein-protein interactions in cell cycle regulation, or receptor-mediated cell signaling. Macromolecular recognition in these pathways is studied at the Burnham Institute by Professor Kathryn Ely as multidisciplinary projects combining protein crystallography, protein characterization, NMR, and cell biology. Several projects are available to study newly characterized proteins with novel 3-D structures. For some of the projects, small crystals or preliminary NMR spectra are already in hand. Individuals who are highly motivated with a strong background in protein characterization and/or molecular biology are preferred. The Burnham Institute is a non-profit research institute dedicated to basic biomedical research located on the North Torrey Pines mesa in La Jolla within two miles of Scripps Research Institute, the Salk Institute and the University of California, San Diego. Applicants should send curriculum vitae and the names of three references to: Professor Kathryn Ely, The Burnham Institute, 10910 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037.
