Job Summary
The Stroud Lab (https://msg.ucsf.edu/stroud-lab ) seeks to understand molecular mechanisms of certain key biological processes, as well as signal transduction between processes at the level of protein structure, dynamics, and mechanism. Molecular cloning, expression, site-directed mutagenesis, and strong focus onto biochemistry are a key part of the arsenal for defining molecular mechanisms. We focus on the questions of how signals cross membranes, and how membrane proteins, and membrane channels work at the level of atomic structure. We also focus on how the signal recognition particle (SRP) directs membrane and secreted proteins to the membrane.
The Stroud Lab is hiring a Staff Research Associate I (SRA I/II) to be involved in helping to perform expression trials with new proteintargets, performing expression analysis of targetproteins, and keeping detailed records that will be presented in internal group settings and to external groups.
