This position involves the structure determination of intramembrane cleaving proteases, which are key players in the signal transduction mechanism known as regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP). RIP has been implicated in Alzheimer’s disease and other fundamental biological processes. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Structural Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics or related discipline. Experience in cryo-electron microscopy or X-ray crystallography is desired. The successful candidate will be affiliated to the New York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC) located at the CCNY Manhattan campus. The NYSBC houses a large cluster of high-field research magnets for NMR and FEG cryo-electron microscopes. The center also has regular access to synchrotron beam lines X4A and X4C at the Brookhaven National Laboratory.</SPAN></FONT></SPAN><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P><P class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><SPAN style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">The initial salary is $35,000 per year plus health and fringe benefits.
