海外博士后招聘

*Postdoctoral Position in Protein Design and Protein Engineering (University of Michigan)* 

One postdoc position in protein design and engineering is immediately 

available at the Yang Zhang Lab, Department of Computational Medicine 

and Bioinformatics and Department of Biological Chemistry, University of 

Michigan Medical School. The project involves functional protein design 

and protein engineering. Candidates will develop computational and 

biochemical methods to design new protein sequences of novel biological 

functions (e.g. enzyme activity, ligand binding, and protein-protein 

interactions). Special attentions will be paid to designing new proteins 

targeting pathways of various diseases including cancer and obesity. 

Candidates with wet-lab experience in protein design and protein 

engineering, protein expression and binding assay, structural biology 

(X-ray crystallography, NMR), and/or computational biology are 

encouraged to apply. Skills in computational programming are not 

required but will be a plus. Excellent interpersonal skill with 

motivation and ability to lead an independent biochemistry laboratory is 

essential. 

If you are interested in the position, please send your CV and a brief 

description of your research interest and research plan to Dr. Yang 

Zhang (Email: zhng@umich.edu ).
