Dear colleagues, Please see the advertisement below:
The Almo lab in the Department of Biochemistry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine seeks applicants for a post-doctoral fellow to work on chemical and enzymatic approaches for the covalent modification of cell surface and secreted molecules, and biologics involved in immune regulation. The successful candidate will have extensive experience in covalent coupling chemistry and/or enzyme-mediated coupling approaches; for example, thiol and aldehyde-based chemistries, or SORTASE-mediated modifications. Familiarity with eukaryotic protein expression is desirable but not essential. This program seeks to develop efficient strategies for the attachment of imaging agents, affinity tags, small molecule toxins and other functionalities to a wide range of immune regulatory proteins for the realization of novel strategies to study and treat malignancies, autoimmune diseases and infectious diseases. The Almo lab offers an outstanding working environment with state-of-the-art infrastructure in high-throughput eukaryotic expression, functional annotation and structure determination, while the College is home to internationally acclaimed experts in modern immunobiology. Interested candidates should contact Steven Almo (steve.almo<at>einstein.yu.edu). Please provide a CV, including the names of three references. ABOUT US Founded in 1955, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Einstein) is one of the nation's premier institutions for medical education, basic research and clinical investigation. A full-time faculty of some 2,000 conducts research, teaches, and delivers health care in every major biomedical specialty. The college has some 730 medical students, 193 Ph.D. students, 106 MD/Ph.D. students and 275 postdoctoral fellows. Einstein's major strength, in addition to training physicians and scientists, is its science. During fiscal year 2015, the faculty's consistently high level of scientific achievement resulted in the awarding of more than $150 million in peer-reviewed grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Einstein is part of Montefiore Medicine Academic Health System, an integrated academic delivery system comprising seven campuses, including 8 hospitals, a multi-county ambulatory network, a new state-of-the art "hospital without beds", a skilled nursing facility school of nursing, home health agency, and the state's first freestanding emergency department. As the University Hospital for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore is a premier academic health system, employing Einstein's clinical faculty and training Einstein's medical students, over 1,300 residents, 420 allied health students, and 1,600 nursing students annually. The Albert Einstein College of Medicine is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, protected veteran or disabled status, or genetic information. Einstein seeks candidates whose skills, and personal and professional experience, have prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence, and the communities we serve. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1
