Description :Required QualificationsEducation: PhD in biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, computational biology, or related field.. Experience with AlphaFold, I-Tasser, HADDOCK, Integrative Structural Modeling, and R or other related programming languages are particularly desirable.. Demonstrated research experience and familiarity with standard computational biology techniques.. Job Duties OutlinedResearch Overview: Work with PI/faculty mentor and other laboratory members, to analyze and interpret large scale quantitative proteomics datasets generated using cross linking mass spectrometry studies on affinity purified protein complexes, isolated organelles from cells and tissues, and complete networks from cells and tissues.. This includes but is not limited to working with AlphaFold, I-Tassed, HADDOCk, the Integrative Modeling Platform, Cytoscape, and computational approaches found in R.Postdoc Expectations: The Postdoc will be expected to complete research projects under the guidance of the faculty mentor, record and interpret the results of their experiments in an (electronic) laboratory notebook, prepare publication-quality manuscripts (including figures and tables) and publish in peer-reviewed literature.
