The Duerfeldt Lab (http://www.duerfeldtlabs.com) in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the University of Oklahoma has an immediate opening for a highly-motivated postdoc trained in microbiology, molecular biology, and/or structural biology. The major research interest of the lab is to exploit bacterial enzyme/pathway activation as a strategy to diminish microbial fitness and/or pathogenicity.
The ideal applicant should have an interest in determining the structure and function of specified proteins within pathogenic organisms to uncover the therapeutic potential of these targets. They are located on the same floor as the University of Oklahoma’s Structural Biology Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) and as a COBRE affiliated lab, the Duerfeldt Group has prioritized access to all equipment, facilities, and expertise in the COBRE cores. More information about the cores can be found at the structuralbiology.ou.edu/. This represents a great opportunity for a postdoc trained in the aforementioned areas to contribute complementary expertise to the major research initiatives of the group, all while being immersed in a medicinal chemistry focused environment.
Start Date: as soon as possible
To apply, please send a CV, research summary, and contact information for 3 references to adam.duerfeldt@ou.edu. Only complete applications will be reviewed.
