-----------------------POSITIONS IN PROTEIN PURIFICATION-------------------------
We seek an experienced individual with expertise in protein expression and purification from prokaryotic and eukaryotic sources. This position resides within the Macromolecular Therapeutics Development Facility (MTDF) at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. The MTDF runs a high-throughput pipeline including automated cloning, expression and purification, as well as an active program focused on the development of novel protein expression/purification strategies in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic hosts. We currently support individual investigator initiated programs at Einstein and the greater New York Area, as well as a number of large-scale multi-institutional structural and functional genomics programs. A Ph.D. and at least three years of experience in protein expression/purification is strictly required. Previous experience with automation and robotics is highly beneficial. The successful candidate will have strong organizational capabilities and the interpersonal skills required to interact with the members of a broad range of different research programs. The ability to work independently, and to supervise and manage multiple projects simultaneously is essential. Team membership skills are particularly important to ensure that these activities seamlessly integrate with the established programs, investigators and leadership within the MTDF. Interested candidates should forward a cover letter (describing training, background and accomplishments), curriculum vitae with bibliography and the names and contact information of three references to Dr. Ron Seidel, Associate Director, MTDF (rseidel_AT_aecom.yu.edu) or Dr. Steve Almo, Scientific Director, MTDF (almo_AT_aecom.yu.edu).
