Postdoctoral Research Fellow – Chemical and Structural Biology

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

Boston, MA

Full Time

Chemical and Structural Biology Postdoctoral Fellowship Position in the Walensky Laboratory, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

The Walensky laboratory focuses on the chemical biology of deregulated protein interactions in cancer, metabolism, and infectious diseases. Our goal is to dissect and target pathologic protein interactions using multidisciplinary approaches that include (1) chemical and stapled peptide design, (2) rigorous biochemical, proteomic, and structural characterizations, (3) mechanistic validation in cells and mouse models, and ultimately (4) clinical translation. We emphasize mechanistic biology, including (1) canonical and non-canonical roles of BCL-2 family apoptotic proteins, (2) the p53 and RAS pathways, (3) high priority metabolic, bacterial and viral targets, and (4) novel helix-in-groove interactions relevant to protein structure, function, and drug development.

We seek a PhD candidate/graduate who is pursuing their first postdoctoral position and has deep experience in structural biology approaches to discern protein interaction mechanisms and blueprints for drug discovery and optimization.

See the Walensky group's most recent publications for a sampling of the lab's research projects and their multidisciplinary approach to scientific investigation:

Dr. Walensky is a chemical biologist and pediatric oncologist committed to advancing our understanding of fundamental cancer mechanisms and opportunities to target them with novel therapeutic strategies. Learn more at the Walensky lab's website:

Responsibilities

We are currently seeking a highly accomplished PhD candidate/graduate applying for their first postdoctoral fellowship in chemical and structural biology, with a focus on cancer. We are particularly interested in candidates who have solved structures using a spectrum of methods and applied the insights to dissect mechanisms of action.

Qualifications

PhD in Chemical Biology, Biochemistry, Structural Biology, Biophysics, or a related field is required. Publication track record, including first-authored publications, is preferred.
