A postdoctoral position in structural biology is available immediately in the research group of Dr. Edward Yu at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. The incoming research fellow will use X-ray crystallography/cryo-EM and other biophysical/biochemical techniques to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of multidrug efflux pumps that mediate antimicrobial resistance in bacterial pathogens (Long et al., 2010, Nature; Su et al., 2011, Nature; Bolla et al., 2015, Nature Commun.; Su et al., 2015, Cell Rep.; Kumar et al., 2017, PNAS; Su et al., 2017 Nature Commun.).
