Postdoc for Structural Chemistry Institute for Applied Cancer Science


MDAnderson Cancer Centre, Houston, Texas
Application deadline: 30 Aug 2018


At MD Anderson, they have been working to eliminate cancer for more than seven decades and are ranked as one of the top two hospitals in cancer care every year since 1990. One of their greatest strengths is their ability to translate today's most promising laboratory findings into tomorrow's new, more effective and less traumatic treatments. 

We are recruiting exceptional national and international post-doctoral fellows to join our Structural Chemistry group, part of the Institute for Applied Cancer Science. Applicants must be extremely motivated and possess a strong background in structural biology, including protein expression and purification, crystallization, and X-ray crystallography. Experience using other biophysical techniques would be an advantage. They are seeking only the most dedicated individuals who will join them in their quest to discover, develop, and deliver more effective treatments to patients. This is a unique opportunity to participate in project-driven drug discovery research within a highly respected academic and clinical setting.  They are tackling cancer and neurodegeneration with a new plan — their Moon Shots Program  - one that aims to improve prevention, early detection and treatment. Their research engines fuel innovation along the way. This gives them the framework they need for success, and speed up development for new and more effective care. 

Their Mission is to integrate novel biological insights with drug discovery expertise to accelerate the development of innovative targeted therapeutics, both small molecules and biologics for unmet medical needs. Their work is conducted in an environment that brings together excellence in both academic and pharmaceutical discovery, as evidenced by recent publications.
