[3dem] Postdoctoral Position at SUNY Binghamton University, New York

[ssolmaz]

Dear all,

The research group of Dr. Sozanne Solmaz is looking to recruit a
postdoctoral research associate. The Solmaz laboratory investigates the
molecular mechanisms for precise, bi-directional positioning of the cell
nucleus by microtubules motors. These cellular transport pathways are
essential for the generation of the majority of the cells in the brain and
associated mutations cause devastating brain and muscle developmental
diseases, including spinal muscular atrophy, which is the most common
genetic cause of death in infants. The successful candidate will combine
cutting edge structural biology approaches (X-ray crystallography and
cryo-electron microscopy) with biophysical techniques, protein
biochemistry, neuroscience and cell biology to investigate how teams of
opposing motor complexes collaborate to achieve correct timing,
directionality and velocity for the positioning of the cell nucleus during
brain development (e.g. eLife 2022, doi: 10.7554/eLife.74714, PLoS Genet.
2023, doi: 0.1371/journal.pgen.1010642). The ideal candidate for this
position will be highly motivated to work both independently to
successfully execute the required studies outlined in our NIH-funded R01
grant and will also thrive in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary
environment where they interact with other scientists. Binghamton
University is a top-ranked public university in Upstate New York with a
vibrant research community and low cost of living.

   summarizing past research, a cover letter and three letters of
   recommendation.
   -  No other experience required. Experience in protein purification,
   biophysical characterization, structural biology or cell biology is a plus.



*Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is
filled. *The start date is flexible.
