Bethesda.
NIH funded Postdoctoral Fellowship, structural biology
Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit, National Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
Location: NIH Main Campus, Bethesda, Maryland
Start Date: flexible
Description: A postdoctoral position is available in the Cell Biology
and Biophysics Unit headed by Dr. Antonina Roll-Mecak at the National
Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. The Roll-Mecak lab
combines biophysical and cell biological approaches to understand the
mechanism underlying intracellular organization and movement, with a
focus on the microtubule cytoskeleton. Our lab is located in the
Porter Center for Neuroscience on the NIH main campus in Bethesda.
The NIH has a long tradition of research excellence in cytoskeletal
biology and offers a stimulating environment for postdoctoral fellows
interested in interdisciplinary training in cell biology and
biophysics. The research facilities at NIH are outstanding and the
lab has state-of-the-art equipment such as crystallization robots,
liquid handling systems, TIRF and confocal microscopes. For more
information, please visit: http://intra.ninds.nih.gov/Lab.asp?Org_ID=558
The position will be fully funded by the NIH. We are looking for
candidates who wish to work on challenging structural biology
problems related to the microtubule cytoskeleton and have a strong
background in X-ray crystallography, protein overexpression and
purification.
Other details: Candidates should have less than 2 years of
postdoctoral experience and a strong publication record. Please send
a CV, a one-page research experience summary, and contact information
of three references to [email protected] Please write
