[3dem] Postdoctoral Fellow position in Membrane Protein Biochemistry and CryoEM

[Vasileios Petrou]

Dear Colleagues,

A postdoctoral position is available in the Petrou lab at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark, New Jersey, to study the structure and function of membrane (and soluble) proteins using single-particle cryoEM and other techniques. The Postdoctoral Fellow will be responsible for the expression, purification and structure determination of proteins involved in antibiotic resistance or human physiology and pathology. In addition, the Postdoctoral Fellow will be responsible for biophysical and biochemical characterization of target proteins, which may include characterization of protein-ligand or protein-protein interactions.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Structural Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or related fields. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in membrane protein expression and purification and/or single-particle cryoEM. Good communication & organizational skills and the ability to work independently are important for this position. Salary will be commensurate with the candidate's experience, and will be based on the NIH postdoctoral stipend scale.

The Petrou Lab is located in Newark, New Jersey - 20 minutes away from New York city! The Rutgers New Jersey CryoEM/ET facility, located in Piscataway, New Jersey, provides access to cryoEM and cryoET instrumentation, including a 200kV Talos Arctica microscope, an Aquilos 2 FIB-SEM microscope, and a Leica cryo-CLEM setup. In addition, a local cryoEM facility at NJMS equipped with a 100kV Tundra microscope and speed-enhanced Ceta camera will begin operating in the next few months, and is located in the same building as the Petrou Lab.

Interested candidates can find additional details and apply online at: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/182234__;!!Mih3wA!Ft80_FkzoV8hmSK8c9WrYrUVQ_uleL1hAwPpBBxMKqS7kf9E7DYgwKed_xmBnPNIKYduQgUPzXApPowVBHkeVVwKyylyP-pDiA$   - A short cover letter, CV and contact information for three references are required. Candidates will be evaluated on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

For further information, candidates can contact me via email (vasileios.petrou at rutgers.edu<mailto:vasileios.petrou at rutgers.edu>) or direct message on Twitter (@VasileiosPetrou) or LinkedIn.

Best regards,
Vasileios
