The laboratories of Drs. L. Wayne Schultz and Tim Umland are seeking highly motivated individuals to participate in a joint interdisciplinary research project investigating virus-host protein-protein interactions. Two positions at the Post-Doctoral level are expected to be hired as soon as possible. Competitive applicants should have demonstrated scientific productivity and innovation at the graduate level, and should have a Ph.D., M.D., or similar degree. Experience working with mammalian cell culture based assays, virus replicon systems, and/or detection of protein-protein interactions is highly desirable. Applicants with previous post-doctoral experience will be considered, but such experience is not necessary. During the course of the project, the successful applicant will have an opportunity to learn structural biology techniques (X-ray crystallography, small angle X-ray scattering), but previous experience in these techniques is not required. Salary and benefits are competitive, and the appointment may be for up to 3 years.

The Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute (HWI) is a private, not-for-profit organization studying the structures and functions of macromolecules of biomedical interest. Additionally, HWI houses the Department of Structural Biology of the State University of New York at Buffalo's School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. HWI is part of the Buffalo-Niagara Medical Campus, a consortium of research, clinical, and educational institutions founded to cultivate a world-class medical campus in state-of-the art facilities in downtown Buffalo, NY, USA. 

To apply for a post-doctoral position, please send your CV and the names of three references to Drs. Schultz (schultz@hwi.buffalo.edu) and Umland (umland@hwi.buffalo.edu). Please include the phrase "LSID Post-Doc Application" in the subject line of the e-mail.
