POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY A postdoctoral fellowship is available starting in January 1998 in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Structure-function studies in the laboratory focus on understanding protein-lipid interactions, lipid transport, and the regulation of biologically active lipids including LPS. Current projects include structural studies of the human bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) [Science 276, 1861 (1997)] with LPS analogs. A strong background in protein crystallography or biophysics is desired. Candidates with training in molecular biology and protein purification and characterization with an interest in structural biology are also encouraged to apply. X-ray facilities include a 300 mm MAR detector with Xstream cryosystem. Columbia is a dynamic university community only 1.5 hrs. by car from St. Louis. Housing and other living expenses are quite reasonable, making it especially attractive for families. Please send cv, summary of research experience and interests, and three letters of reference to: Dr. Lesa Beamer Biochemistry Department 117 Schweitzer Hall University of Missouri-Columbia Columbia, MO email: bchemlb@showme.missouri.edu
