[3dem] Postdoctoral Fellow position in Membrane Protein Biochemistry and Cryo-EM

[Vasileios Petrou]

Dear All,

A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the Petrou lab at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School (NJMS) to support NIH-funded research. Our research focuses on the structural biology of membrane (and soluble) proteins using single particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM).

The Postdoctoral Fellow will be responsible for the expression and purification of proteins using bacterial, insect and mammalian heterologous expression systems, and for the structure determination of membrane proteins and/or protein complexes by single-particle cryo-EM. In addition, the Postdoctoral Fellow will be responsible for biophysical and biochemical characterization of target proteins, including protein-ligand or protein-protein interactions.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Structural Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or related fields. Experience with heterologous expression of proteins using insect cell or mammalian cell systems is necessary for this position. Additionally, preference will be given to candidates with experience in structure determination of proteins by single-particle cryo-EM and atomic model building/validation. Good communication & organizational skills and the ability to work independently are important for this position. Salary will be commensurate to the candidate's experience and qualifications and based on the Rutgers postdoc salary scale.

The Petrou Lab is located in Newark, New Jersey, 20 min away from New York city. The Rutgers NJMS Cryo-EM Core facility (RNCCF), located in the same building as the Petrou Lab, provides access to a 100kV Tundra microscope with speed-enhanced Ceta camera, and sample preparation equipment. Additionally, the Rutgers Cryo-EM and Nanoimaging facility (RCNF), located in Piscataway, New Jersey, provides access to further cryo-EM and cryo-ET instrumentation, including a 200kV Talos Arctica microscope, an Aquilos 2 FIB-SEM microscope, and a Leica cryo-CLEM setup. A 300kV Krios microscope equipped with K3 direct detector and energy filter is expected to be installed later this year at RNCF.

Interested candidates can find additional information and apply online at: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/220441__;!!Mih3wA!GvimvsIZQEV3hwkhEjQAJIdn2XRAwXuYZl0r0SLzIkLlTm5W7jBTYz0S1OO96zJrfoongrlslXfCtlaPKE_FBNm6IkrmhF961g$ 

A short cover letter, a 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
