[3dem] Cryo-EM Postdoctoral Fellowship

[Rajesh Ramachandran]

*POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE *

*STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY OF MEMBRANE REMODELING*



A NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available immediately in the
Ramachandran Lab at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) to study the
structural aspects of protein-mediated membrane remodeling during endocytic
and mitochondrial membrane fission. The position requires a Ph.D. in
biochemistry or biophysics with a strong focus on structural biology (X-ray
crystallography, NMR, or cryo-EM) and membrane biophysics. This position
will provide an excellent opportunity to learn and apply a wide array of
structural and biophysical techniques to explore protein function in and on
membranes. The Ramachandran laboratory also employs a host of cutting-edge
spectroscopic approaches including FRET, fluorescence correlation
spectroscopy (FCS) and fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) to explore
protein-protein and protein-membrane interactions in membrane remodeling
and fission, both *in vitro* and *in vivo*. The Ramachandran lab and the
facilities at CWRU are equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation for
structural biology, including a newly acquired 300 kV Titan Krios G3i
microscope coupled to a Gatan K3 direct detection camera for
high-resolution cryo-EM.

*Requirements*: Applicants must be highly motivated and must have
demonstrated experience (i.e. relevant publications) in protein
biochemistry and structural biology. The candidate should have a strong
conceptual and experimental background in biochemistry and biophysics, as
well as in the mechanistic dissection of structure-function relationships
in proteins; he/she should be independent, proactive, hardworking and
productive; only candidates that have first-author publications (or
articles in press) will be considered. Candidates must have completed their
PhD at the time of appointment. Salary will commensurate with experience
and will adhere to current NIH guidelines. Interested candidates should
submit their CV, reprints of selected publications, three reference letters
(directly from referees), and a cover letter summarizing their experience,
long-term goals, and estimated start date directly to Rajesh Ramachandran
at rxr275 at case.edu.
