[3dem] Cryo-EM Postdoctoral Scholar positions @ Penn State

[Lee, Kenneth]

Membrane Structural Biophysics at The Pennsylvania State University

The laboratory of Dr. Kenneth Lee in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology at the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine invites applications for new NIH-funded postdoctoral positions to study mechanisms and regulation of membrane transport at structural and functional levels.

Ion channels, transporters and receptors connected to neurological disorders, metabolic diseases and cancer are principal areas of focus. We apply interdisciplinary approaches to investigate their structure, dynamics and function in situ and in vitro.

We are looking for dynamic and driven individuals with a recent (or expected) PhD or MD/PhD degree in biochemistry, biophysics, neuroscience, molecular genetics, cell biology, chemistry or related fields. A track-record of productivity is required. Ideal candidates will possess a strong work ethic, a broad curiosity and a passion for discovery. Expertise in membrane protein biochemistry, cell imaging, electrophysiology, single molecule biophysics, molecular dynamics, cryo-EM/ET or X-ray crystallography will be a plus but not required.

Successful candidates will be immersed in a friendly and inclusive training environment with a diverse and vibrant community of scientists and health professionals. The lab enjoys routine on-site access to superb resources including a newly established state-of-the-art 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.
