This lab conducts two aspects of research using X-ray crystallography and other biochemical approaches.  One is to understand how a limited number of transcription factors regulate larger amount of genes.  Our model is that two or more transcription factors work together and further recruit other protein modification factors to form high-order regulatory assemblies on gene promoters.  Another is to study how the extracellular signals are transferred to a specific set of transcription factors.  These projects include structural characterization of ligand-protein and protein-protein interaction and proteins associated with cell membranes.  Please refer http://life.xmu.edu.cn/teacher/teachersy/2008-02-18/1760.html for more information.
 
Those who have Ph.D in any biological or medical disciplines are strongly encouraged to apply.  Any experience in protein biochemistry is a plus.  Training in crystallography is welcome but not required.  Successful candidates will be provided with a standard package from Xiamen University including low-cost oncampus apartment, medical insurance and family assistance.  Additional salary will be offered to compensate your credentials and experience.  Initial contract is 1-2 years and expected to start within 6 months.  Please send your CV including personal statement and contact information of three referees to Dr. Aidong Han at  aidongha@usc.edu. 
 
Xiamen is one of the most beautiful cities and the best place to live in China. Xiamen University, in particular, the School of Life Sciences, has been quickly arising with strong financial support from the government.  The lab is fully equipped and among the  excellent academic environment. Please visit http://www.xmu.edu.cn/english/ for overall school information.
