Jobs @ Kim Group Lab
Research Associate in Protein Crystallography
Job Description-- Primary duties and responsibilities will include
development and implementation of computational processes for protein
structure determination. Other duties include: Purification and
characterization of proteins expressed in E. coli system, identify
and refine conditions for obtaining diffraction quality crystals, and
determining stabilization solutions for cryo-crystallography. This
position requires interaction with P.I.s, other postdocs, graduate
students, and Research Associates involved in the project. Also
required are activeive participation in group meetings supporting
the group by sharing maintenance of equipment.
Qualifications --Ph.D. in a field associated with protein crystal
structure determination (within the last three years). Demonstrated
experience with experimental and computational methods of protein
crystallography, protein crystallization and support of crystallization
instrumentation and software. Experience in troubleshooting and
optimizing performance of laboratory automation instrumentation
including crystallization robots, liquid handlers and plate readers
is preferred. Meticulous sample handling, careful maintenance of
laboratory records and good communication skills are essential.
Good working knowledge of basic molecular biology techniques
especially those involved in purification and characterization of
proteins are preferred. Solid interpersonal skills and the ability
to work and train others in a team environment are critical.

Research Associate in Computational Biology
Job description -- Research Associate will investigate computational,
structural, and functional genomics. Primary duties and responsibilities
will include development and implementation of computational processes
for protein structure classification, analysis, prediction of fold
and function, and associated database construction. This position
requires interaction with P.I.s, other postdocs, graduate students,
and research associates involved in the project.
Qualifications -- Ph.D. in computational biology, structural biology,
computer sciences, statistics or a related field. Demonstrated experience
with computational methods of protein structure analysis, classification,
and database mining. Familiarity with protein structure sequence database,
sequence database, and computational tools to analyze them are essential.
Good working knowledge of protein structural techniques is useful. Solid
interpersonal skills and the ability to work and train others in a team
environment are critical. Active participation in group meetings an
supporting the group by sharing maintenance of software and database are
important. The candidate will develop methods for analysis and integration
of genomic sequence, protein structure, database analysis, prediction of
gene function using sequence, or any related area of computational genomics.
