Description
The Division of Science at New York University Abu Dhabi, UAE is inviting applications for a Post-Doctoral Associate position in the areas of Protein Biochemistry and Enzymology.
The candidate will work under the supervision of Prof. Wael Rabeh ( on the study of enzymes’ structures and functions in the area of cancer metabolism and viral infectious diseases.
Applicants must have a strong background in protein biochemistry including experience in protein expression and purification.
The lab is well equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for spectroscopy, thermodynamic and kinetic characterization of proteins’ thermal and chemical unfolding, and mass-spectroscopy for studying protein dynamics.
Applicantsmust have a in biochemistry or a related field of study. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an interview.
Experienceinmass spectroscopy or enzymology isdesirable. Priority given to candidates with a background in the following areas of expertise :
Protein expression and purification (essential) : The candidate must have prior hands-on experience in protein expression in E.
coli or other cell lines and purification using affinity and size exclusion chromatography. Experience using FPLC in protein purification is a plus.
Experience in any of the following areas is a plus :
- Enzymology : mechanistic characterization of enzymes using initial velocity and enzyme inhibition kinetics.
- Hydrogen / deuterium exchange (HDX) mass spectrometry (MS) application in the study of enzyme dynamics and protein structural characterization.
- Spectroscopy including UV-Vis, fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy.
- Calorimetry including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).
The appointment is for a one-year, renewable term, starting on August 1st, 2024. The employment terms are competitive and include a tax-free salary plus housing and educational subsidies and health and dental insurance for the Postdoctoral Associate and their dependents.
