Postdoc and PhD Student Positions in Electron Microscopy
Applications are invited for two open positions in the laboratory of
Haixin Sui in the Wadsworth Center, Albany, NY. One opening is for a
postdoctoral fellow starting in September of 2008. The other is for a
Ph.D. student starting in the spring or fall of 2009. These are funded
positions administered by Health Research, Inc.
The lab conducts research using structural approaches on cell biology
questions that are disease-relevant. Our current interest is focused on
the structural analysis of cytoskeleton and membrane protein complexes
involved in motility and the signaling functions of eukaryotic flagella.
The approaches used in the lab range widely and include molecular
techniques, protein biochemistry, and structural approaches with an
emphasis on advanced electron cryo-microscopy. The lab is located in the
Wadsworth Center which is a comprehensive state laboratory of public
health fostering innovative health-related research since 1901
(www.wadsworth.org). The electron microscopy program at the Center
enjoys an international reputation on 3D-EM methodology development and
applications.
• Postdoc position - a Ph.D. degree in molecular cell biology,
biochemistry or related discipline is required. The ideal candidate is
expected to have extensive experience in molecular techniques, cell
culture, protein expression and purification, and a solid background in
structural biology. Experience in electron cryo-microscopy is desired
but is not essential.
• Ph.D. student position - interdisciplinary applications are
particularly encouraged for people holding a Bachelor or Master degree
in fields of engineering and physics such as solid state physics,
materials science, and chemistry. Candidates with a background in
biophysics, biochemistry, molecular biology or related disciplines are
also welcome. Applications from people with computer science background
focused on computer graphics or digital signal processing will also be
considered. The student will receive comprehensive training in cell
molecular biology and advanced structural biology, and will conduct
his/her research in an excellent working environment at the Wadsworth
Center.
Interested individuals should submit a cover letter describing research
experience and interests, curriculum vitae, and names and contact
information of three references to:
"suilab at hotmail.com" or "hsui at lbl.gov."
