[3dem] Postdoc opening to study mechanisms of CRISPR-Cas

[Ailong Ke]

Dear All,


I would like to bring your attention to a NIH-funded postdoc position is my lab at Cornell University, Ithaca, USA. The main theme of the lab is to understand the underlying mechanism of RNA-guided processes, CRISPR-Cas in particular. Training involves nucleic acid biochemistry, cryo-EM based structure determination, functional validation in vivo and in vitro, and structure-guided engineering of genome editing tools. Please visit our laboratory<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sites.google.com/site/kelaboratory/__;!!Mih3wA!RLVfTtvVWz4OpGawg2Hl1nNEvAbQYhih99kDDM0tG8x3ei7v0okLDjCZZ5fTNMpPtQ$ > and departmental<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mbg.cornell.edu/people/ailong-ke/__;!!Mih3wA!RLVfTtvVWz4OpGawg2Hl1nNEvAbQYhih99kDDM0tG8x3ei7v0okLDjCZZ5eAEjMqcQ$ > web sites for research and publication<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sites.google.com/site/kelaboratory/publications__;!!Mih3wA!RLVfTtvVWz4OpGawg2Hl1nNEvAbQYhih99kDDM0tG8x3ei7v0okLDjCZZ5cQG0yTzQ$ > details (Molecular Cell. 2019 Jun 6;74(5):936-950. Science. 2018 Jul 6;361(6397). Nature. 2017 Oct 5;550(7674):137-141. Cell. 2017 Jun 29;170(1):48-60. Nature. 2016 Feb 25;530(7591):499-503.).

We are looking for a highly motivated individual with experiences in biochemistry and cryo-EM. There is routine access to 200 and 300 keV electron microscopes. The trainee will interact on a day-to-day basis with peers in the areas of genome editing and single molecule biophysics. We aim to provide an interdiscipline training environment to efficiently convert high-resolution mechanistic understandings to novel genome editing applications.



Candidates are expected to have published at least one first-author paper in a reputable journal and have obtained a Ph.D. or equivalent degree before arrival. Please send your CV, list of publications, and referee contact list to ailong.ke at cornell.edu<mailto:ailong.ke at cornell.edu> before July 15th, 2021 for consideration. Evaluation and interviews will proceed in a rolling basis.

Sincerely,


Ailong Ke, Ph.D.
