A postdoctoral position is immediately available in the laboratory of
Professor Samuel Butcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The Butcher laboratory is funded by the NIH to investigate the structure
and function of RNA-protein complexes that regulate gene expression.
Additionally, the lab is currently determining structure activity
relationships for small molecules that regulate
non-coding RNAs that play roles in neurodegenerative diseases.
The Butcher laboratory is part of a vibrant research community at
UW-Madison with state-of-the-art resources, such as the National
Magnetic Resonance Facility at Madison (NMRFAM) and a newly established
cryo-EM facility that will soon house a Titan Krios, Talos
Arctica and Aquilos FIB/SEM electron microscope.
The Butcher laboratory has established expertise in NMR, X-ray
crystallography, SAXS, and myriad biophysical techniques. Additionally,
we collaborate with local experts in cryo-electron microscopy. Thus,
postdoctoral trainees in the Butcher lab are in a position
to learn any aspect of contemporary structural biology.
