A post-doctoral position to study cystoskeletal macromolecular assemblies using cryo-electron microscopy is available in our laboratory. For this position the ideal candidate would be interested in solving problems related to protein structure and function and have experience in molecular electron microscopy. Candidates with experience in protein expression and purification with a strong interest in structural biology will also be considered.

In our lab we employ a variety of approaches such as site-directed mutagenesis, cryo-electron microscopy and single molecule fluorescence microscopy to investigate cystoskeletal motors at the molecular level (e. g. see: Tan et al., Structure 16: 1732-9, 2008; Asenjo & Sosa PNAS 106: 5657-62, 2009).We have access to state of the art facilities for cryo-em work located at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and at the New York Structural Biology Center that include several cryo-em microscopes (Tecnai 20, Tecnai G2 F20, JEOL 1230, JEOL 2100F, JEOL 3200FSC). Our laboratory is located in the Albert Einstein College of medicine in New York City, which offers excellent opportunities for scientific interaction within the college and with many other scientific institutions in the New York area.Interested candidates please send a letter (or email), CV and reference names to:
