The Thompson (https://www.umassmed.edu/thompson/) lab at UMass Chan Medical School is recruiting a postdoctoral scientist to investigate how protein citrullination contributes to inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, sepsis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

 The scientist will employ various investigative tools, including proteomics, structural biology proteomics, enzymology, protein chemistry, molecular and chemical biology, and others, and work together with immunologists to unveil the changes in protein citrullination and the role of these changes in inflammation.

Highly motivated scientists with a recent Ph.D. and proficiency in the relevant investigative tools mentioned above, and a strong interest in chemical biology are encouraged to apply.
