[3dem] Cryo-EM Researcher positions @ Penn State

[Lee, Kenneth]

Membrane Structural Biophysics at The Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine

The laboratory of Dr. Kenneth Lee invites applications for a postdoctoral position and a research technician position. We take a multi-disciplinary structural biology approach to study the mechanism of membrane transport proteins connected to human disease.

For the postdoc position, we are seeking dynamic and highly driven individuals with a PhD or MD/PhD degree in biochemistry, biophysics, neuroscience, molecular biology, cell biology or related fields. A track-record of productivity is required. The ideal candidate will possess a strong work ethic, a broad curiosity and a passion for discovery. Expertise in membrane protein biochemistry, single-particle cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography is preferred but not required.
For the research technician position, candidates should preferably have a degree in chemical or biological sciences and one or more years research experience in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry or related areas.

The successful candidates will join a vibrant and diverse community of scientists and health professionals and will have outstanding on-site access to superb resources including a newly established cryo-EM facility housing a 300 kV Titan Krios G3i cryo-TEM equipped with a Volta phase plate, Gatan BioQuantum energy filter and K3 direct electron detector.

For an example of our recent work see Tillinghast et al, Molecular Cell 2021.
