[RASMB] Postdoctoral fellow opening at Genentech

[Ankit Patel]

[Note: Postdoctoral Position Description Attached]
 
Position description: 
 
A postdoctoral research fellow position is available in the Late Stage
Pharmaceutical & Processing Development Department focusing on interfacial
interactions between proteins and surfaces.
 
Protein biophamaceuticals come in contact with a variety of surfaces and
interfaces.  The effect of exposure to these interfaces on the proteins is
not well understood.  This project aims to utilize surface sensitive
techniques (e.g. SPR, QCM-D, TIRF Microscopy, surface enhanced spectroscopy,
etc.) to examine the dynamics of protein adsorption and the effect of
different surfaces/interfaces on the structure and conformation of the
protein.  A further objective of this project is to develop an understanding
of the influence of ion-protein as well as protein-protein interactions on
the adsorption process and the properties of the adsorbed protein.  The
relative importance of protein-protein interactions in mediating
surface-protein processes will be examined through the use of orthogonal
methods such as DLS, AUC, etc.
 
Requirements:
 
A Ph.D. in the field of biophysics, biophysical chemistry, chemical
engineering, biochemistry, or related discipline.  A strong background in
biophysical/interfacial chemistry, and/or quantitative biochemical analysis
is essential.  The candidate should have hands-on experience working with
various surface sensitive techniques and must be a highly motivated,
organized, detail-oriented and inventive self-starter with strong
communication, collaboration, and analytical thinking skills.  
 
Interested candidates should contact & submit resumes to Ankit Patel
