Prospective graduate students should contact UCSF's Graduate Division Office http://graduate.ucsf.edu/prospective-students to apply to one of UCSF's graduate programs. I am a member of the Integrated Program in Quantitative Biology (Biophysics, Bioinformatics and Complex Systems) (link), Chemistry and Chemical Biology (CCB) (link) , and Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacogenomics (PSPG) (link). We cannot accept graduate students directly into our lab (only after acceptance into a UCSF graduate program and first year rotations)

Post-doctoral position in design of protein-based small molecule biosensors
A post-doctoral position is available in the Kortemme Lab to join our efforts in computational design of protein-based small molecule biosensors. The post-doctoral researcher will work closely with our computational design group to develop and apply methods to engineer novel functional protein interfaces, in particular utilizing newly developed methods for flexible backbone modeling (see Nature Methods 6:551, 2009 and Nature Chemical Biology 5:797, 2009). We are seeking a highly motivated, rigorous experimentalist with strong publications in international journals. Qualified candidates should expect or hold a Ph.D. in biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology or a related area. Experience with medium- or high-throughput assays, protein library construction, small molecule chemistry, or computational biology is a plus. The Kortemme Lab provides a stimulating interdisciplinary environment, with members from diverse backgrounds in computer science, physics, engineering, biology and biochemistry, combining experimental and computational techniques for tightly coupled feedback between design and testing.

Applications and inquiries should be submitted to Tanja Kortemme (kortemme@cgl.ucsf.edu). Please include a cover letter describing your interests, a CV with publication list, an abstract of your thesis research, and ask three references to email their letters of recommendation directly to Tanja at the same time.

The Kortemme Lab is located on the 3rd floor of Byers Hall at the UCSF Mission Bay campus (directions).
