A new postdoc position in chemistry and biology of nucleic acid-binding proteins is available in the laboratory of Dr. Yinsheng Wang at the University of California at Riverside. The major project will involve the use of quantitative proteomic tools for the discovery of cellular proteins that can recognize unusual DNA structures (e.g. G quadruplex) and damaged DNA, and the applications of molecular biology and genetic methods for the functional characterizations of these proteins. Our laboratory is equipped with five state-of-the-art mass spectrometers, including a new Thermo Q Exactive Plus quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer. The candidate will also have access to an Orbitrap Fusion mass spectrometer in the Keck Proteomics Facility on campus. In addition, our laboratory is now comprised of 8 postdoctoral fellows and 15 Ph. D. students, and the candidate will be exposed to a highly vibrant and interdisciplinary research environment involving mass spectrometry, synthetic organic chemistry, molecular biology and genetics. A Ph. D. degree in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, or chemistry is required. Previous working experience with the chemistry and/or biology of nucleic acids is desirable, but not essential. To apply, please send your CV and arrange for three letters of references to be sent to Yinsheng.Wang@ucr.edu.
