[ccp4bb] Postdoc Opportunity - Multidataset X-ray Crystallography, Computational Structural Biology, & Protein Allostery - Upper Manhattan, New York City
Hello ccp4bb community, The Keedy Lab at the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center in New York City has a funded Postdoctoral Scholar position available immediately. We seek applications from individuals with experience in computational biology, computer science, software development, biochemistry, biophysics, or a related area. Details of research projects and career training will be tailored to the goals of the successful applicant. Research: The Keedy Lab is interested in the interplay between protein sequence, conformational heterogeneity, and biological function. Using a unique combination of avant-garde computational and biophysical approaches, we aim to elucidate the conformational ensembles of proteins and to understand how they are shifted by perturbations, including temperature, pressure, mutations, ligands, protein:protein interactions, to control biological function. The successful applicant for this open position will join these efforts by developing and using new computational approaches to exploit families of related structures, extract hidden signatures of conformational heterogeneity, and explore how changes to amino acid sequence rewire protein allosteric networks. Location: The CUNY Advanced Science Research Center (https://asrc.gc.cuny.edu) is a cutting-edge research institution, perched atop a hill overlooking Harlem in New York City. Alongside its sister research building, the City College of New York’s Center for Discovery and Innovation, the ASRC sits in an oasis of green amidst upper Manhattan. The ASRC Structural Biology Initiative (https://asrc.gc.cuny.edu/structbio) features eight tenure-track and research-track faculty members, pursuing diverse research problems using X-ray diffraction, mass spectrometry, cryo-EM, NMR, solution biophysics, and advanced microscopy. The ASRC is immediately adjacent to the New York Structural Biology Center, a consortium of CUNY and eight other New York academic institutions with world-class facilities, and is just 70 miles from Brookhaven National Laboratory, featuring the National Synchrotron Light Source II – the brightest synchrotron light source in the United States.

[ccp4bb] Position Available: Crystallography Facility Manager (Research Assistant Professor) - CUNY Advanced Science Research Center, New York City
To the ccp4bb community, The Structural Biology Initiative ( https://asrc.gc.cuny.edu/structbio ) of the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center has an available position for an X-ray Crystallography Facility Manager (Research Assistant Professor) starting immediately. The CUNY Advanced Science Research Center is a new cutting-edge research institution located in New York City, bringing together five Initiatives whose research areas span many length scales: Structural Biology, Nanoscience, Photonics, Neuroscience, and Environmental Science. The Structural Biology Initiative (SBI) features seven tenure-track and research faculty members, pursuing research problems across biological and chemical topics using techniques as diverse as X-ray diffraction, cryo-EM, NMR, solution biophysics, and advanced microscopy. The SBI also hosts state-of-the-art core facilities in three different areas: nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS), and X-ray crystallography. The Structural Biology Initiative seeks a Facility Manager/Research Assistant Professor for the X-ray Macromolecular Crystallography Facility, which is already equipped with a Rigaku Alchemist DT liquid handler, two ARI Gryphon crystallization robots, and two Rigaku Minstrel DT crystal imagers at room temperature and 4°C. The selected candidate will be responsible not only for directing day-to-day operations of the facility in concert with users from the ASRC and externally, but also for developing an independent research program that leverages emerging technologies in X-ray crystallography. The ASRC is located in upper Manhattan, immediately adjacent to the New York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC), a consortium of CUNY and eight other New York academic institutions with world-class cryo-EM, NMR, and X-ray facilities on-site and at Brookhaven National Laboratory. BNL, located just 70 miles from the ASRC, includes a newly constructed synchrotron, National Synchrotron Light Source II, which opened in 2015. NSLS-II is now the brightest synchrotron light source in the United State, offering X-rays that are 10,000x brighter than the original NSLS. The ASRC Structural Biology Initiative has access to several cutting-edge microfocus beamlines equipped for automated crystal handling and data collection at NSLS-II, including the NYX beamline via CUNY’s membership in NYSBC and the AMX and FMX beamlines via proposals.
