The Liu Group at the Emory University School of Medicine is inviting applications for a postdoctoral scholar position in the laboratory (https://med.emory.edu/departments/biochemistry/research-labs/liu/index.html). The interdisciplinary research program in the Liu lab, recently funded by a five-year NIH grant, is dedicated to exploring the structure-dynamics-function relationship of steroid receptor-ligand interactions. By integrating structural biology, biophysical chemistry, molecular pharmacology, and cellular and chemical biology methods, our work aims to achieve a molecular-level understanding of how these interactions regulate transcriptional activities of steroid receptors, which play crucial roles in metabolism, development, stress and inflammatory response.
We take an interdisciplinary approach, combining structural biology techniques like X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM with biochemical, biophysical, iPSC cell biology, computational biology, and multi-omics methodologies.
Qualifications: Highly motivated Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Biophysics or Structural Biology or related field.
Please email the application materials (1. Curriculum Vitae; 2.Contact information for 2-3 references) to Dr. Xu Liu (xu.liu@emory.edu).
