A postdoctoral position is available in the Eppley Institute for Research in Cancer and Allied Diseases at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (http://www.unmc.edu/Eppley/). We use X-ray crystallography and a variety of biophysical and biochemical methods to understand the structural basis of transcriptional initiation and elongation in eukaryotes. A Ph.D. with a strong background in molecular biology, biochemistry, and an extensive experience in cloning, expression and purification of mammalian proteins is required.

Omaha is among the top 10 best US cities for living (http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/2006/top100/bigcities.html) with a relatively large Japanese community, Japanese school, shops and restaurants.

Interested candidates are invited to submit their application, including cover letter, detailed curriculum vitae, statement of research experience and interests as well as name and address of at least three references to:
