Postdoctoral Fellow - Cancer, Protein Modification

The project involves studies of post-translation modifications by ubiquitin-like proteins and development of chemical probes using multi-disciplinary approaches.  We also apply these chemical modulators to investigate the roles of SUMOylation in oncogenesis and HIV replication.  The ideal candidate should have a strong background in one or more of the following areas: enzymology, cancer biology, X-ray crystallography, or virology.  Detailed information about our laboratory can be found on the website: http://www.cityofhope.org/Researchers/ChenYuan/.
Nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, City of Hope is in a serene community in which to live and work. The subtropical and semi-arid climate offers year-round outdoor activity.  An hour’s drive in different directions can take you to ocean beaches, snow skiing, or desert camping.  It is close enough to take advantage of the benefits of city life, but far enough to enjoy living in a peaceful environment.

The position provides competitive salary and benefits.
