Postdoctoral Fellow in Biology and Oxidative Protein Folding
Postdoctoral Fellow, Biology — Landeta Lab
at
Indiana University Bloomington
is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in
microbiology, biochemistry, biology
, and related areas.
The project focuses on
oxidative protein folding
in bacteria, especially the bacterial cell envelope, thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases, DsbA substrates, inhibitor discovery, and comparative studies in
E. coli
and
Mycobacteria
(including
M. smegmatis
). The lab also mentions collaboration with
Prof. Weikai Li
on inhibitor-protein crystallography.
Research activities include in vitro inhibitor assays, cysteine enrichment and proteomics, protein purification, microbial genetics, molecular biology, and general lab responsibilities such as supervising undergraduates, managing lab operations, writing reports/manuscripts, and presenting results.
