Study protein expression (such as band 3 and ankyrin), purification (ion exchange, affinity, and hydrophobic chromatography) from human RBCs and bacteria for protein complex, binding, and crystallization studies. Interpret and characterize structure and function of the human erythrocyte membrane through the experimentation designed. Oversee and manage biochemical assays on purified wild-type and mutant proteins such as GST binding assays and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) assays. Carry out in-depth data definition of docking interface between erythrocyte band 3 and ankyrin protein to characterize contact residues between ankyrin and band 3. Perform competition assays, immunoassays on purified wild type and mutant proteins. Identified differences between band 3 complexes and released structural heterogeneity within band 3 subpopulations through diffusion study in intact erythrocytes. Ensure safe and quality handling of bacterial (microbiology) cultures, including culture development and maintenance, manipulation,and protein extraction. Optimize protein yield.

What they like about Purdue University:

A hiring company that offers alternative approaches to pay, performance bonuses, and/or equity in the firm is very attractive to you. You're generally less interested in working for an organization offering only traditional, salary-based compensation, one with limited opportunity to acquire equity in the firm, or one that does not actively promote skill development. In addition, you are more likely to choose a company that offers a variety of internal career options, with defined career paths. You view the learning of new skills and development of your expertise as key to your career advancement. These aspects of an organization may become even more important to you as you progress in your field, and are especially critical if you change career or occupation.
