The Cheng Zhang lab (https://www.pharmacology.us/faculty/ChengZhang) at the University of Pittsburgh is looking for a Research Technician. We use structural biology approaches including protein crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to study molecular mechanisms of function of cell surface receptors such as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). We are seeking a research technician to assist and work with the PI to perform biochemical and molecular studies on some understudied membrane proteins as emerging drug targets. Duties will include: 1) Membrane protein engineering and production for vaccine development against bacterial pathogens; 2) Production of human membrane proteins and therapeutic antibodies for structural and pharmacological studies. The incumbent will be expected to work independently on aspects of several research projects as well as assist other lab work.

University of Pittsburgh, Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
The University of Pittsburgh seeks to fill a number of NIH NINDS T32-funded postdoctoral positions for training in the Neurobiology of Neurological Disease. A primary goal of this training program is to provide a crucial clinical component to the education of postdoctoral fellows. A second major goal is to ensure that trainees are provided with mentored research training to create a pathway to independence.
This T32 program is administered by the Department of Neurobiology and directed by Dr. Peter Strick, PhD, but represents a community-wide training program that includes faculty from basic science and clinical departments throughout the University.
Prior to application, applicants must select and obtain acceptance from a research mentor chosen from the list of members of the Center for Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh (CNUP) ( https://cnup.pitt.edu/people/core-faculty-members ) who are engaged in NINDS-funded research.
