Job description
Our lab is a collegial, inclusive, and supportive lab environment that values curiosity, rigor, and teamwork. We place a strong emphasis on mentorship, training, and career development, tailored to individual goals. The chosen candidate will be trained in cutting-edge biochemical, biophysical, and mutational-mapping methods and will have access to premier USF and Moffitt Cancer Center facilities (cryo-EM, genomics, mass spectrometry, flow cytometry, NGS, structural biology, and drug discovery). Successful postdocs will be encouraged to lead research projects, develop new research directions, apply for fellowships, present at national meetings, and explore diverse careers. Responsibilities: - Under the direction of the Principal Investigator, the chosen candidate will lead experimental projects focused on dissecting the molecular determinants of transporter function, substrate specificity, ion coupling, and conformational dynamics. Some training will be provided. Depending on interest and expertise, projects may involve: - Membrane protein structure-function studies: membrane protein expression/purification, biochemical and biophysical assays of transporter function, structural dete...
