<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:justify">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 TWO new NIH-funded
postdoctoral positions to study mechanisms and regulation of membrane transport.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:justify">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, pharmacology and function <i>in situ</i> and <i>in vitro</i>.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:justify">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.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:justify">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.
