*Position available for a membrane protein biochemist ***
A position for a highly motivatedmembrane protein biochemist is
available immediately in the laboratory of David Stokes at the New York
Structural Biology Center(http://cryoem.nysbc.org) in New York City. The
successful applicant will work within the Transcontinental Electron
Microscopy Initiative for Membrane Protein Structure (TEMIMPS;
http://temimps.nysbc.org). TEMIMPS is funded by the NIH Protein
Structure Initiative for development and implementation of
high-throughput and high-resolution approaches to structure
determination of membrane proteins using electron cryo-microscopy and 2D
membrane crystals. TEMIMPS is composed of six research groups with
combined expertise in membrane protein production, membrane
crystallization, electron microscopy, image processing, and structure
determination. Groups at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, New York
University and NYSBC work closely together. The group at Mt. Sinai
focuses on production of purified membrane protein targets, whereas the
group at NYSBC uses a high-throughput pipeline to screen crystallization
conditions. The open position at NYSBC will primarily involve
crystallization of membrane proteins together with related activities
such as biochemical characterization of protein/detergent/lipid mixtures
and evaluation of crystallization outcomes using electron microscopy.
This work will potentially also include high resolution imaging and
structure determination by electron cryo-microscopy. The NYSBC is well
equipped for all aspects of this project and hosts superlative
facilities for electron cryo-microscopy. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in
Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Structural Biology or a
related field. Strong research experience in membrane protein
biochemistry is essential. In addition, the candidate must have strong
interpersonal, organizational and communication skills in order to
facilitate intimate collaboration with other research groups.Salary will
be commensurate with experience. Interested candidates should send a
cover letter, curriculum vitae and contact information for three
professional referees to Dr. David Stokes at stokes at nyu.edu.
