Postdoctoral positions to study RNA-protein complexes and non-coding RNA in New
York
Postdoctoral positions are available immediately in the laboratory of Dr.
Alexander Serganov at New York University School of Medicine. We are looking
for enthusiastic, highly motivated and creative individuals with a strong
interest in applying multidisciplinary approach and cutting-edge methodology to
study RNA-mediated gene expression control. We are presently focusing our
efforts on RNA-protein complexes and non-coding RNAs from bacteria and mammals,
using structural (cryo-EM and X-ray), biochemical (including genome-wide) and
biophysical methods. Research topics include transcriptional and translational
control, mRNA modification, RNA degradation, and RNA-protein complexes in human
diseases.
Candidates should hold a Ph.D. degree in structural biology, biochemistry,
molecular biology, or related fields. Qualified candidates should have strong
background in routine molecular biology techniques and protein purification.
Good communication in English is expected.
The first position requires prior experience in genome-wide methods (RNAseq,
CLIP, etc) or in vitro RNA studies. Projects will be primarily focused on
genome-wide and in vitro characterization of RNA-protein interactions, with
less emphasis on structural methods.
The second position requires experience in X-ray crystallography or cryo-EM and
will primarily involve structural studies.
The Serganov laboratory (www.serganovlab.com) is located on the NYU Langone
campus at 31st Street and First Avenue in midtown Manhattan, New York, USA.
Postdocs will benefit from the vibrant scientific environment and the
outstanding School infrastructure that supports the most advanced technologies
including robotic X-ray facility, cryo-EM facility with Titan Krios, genome
center and over 20 other facilities. Postdocs will be involved in collaboration
with leading groups and receive a competitive salary, excellent benefits, and
subsidized housing.
Interested applicants should submit a detailed CV, brief statement of research
interests with description of previous research experience and contact
information (email addresses and telephone numbers) of three references to Dr.
Alexander Serganov at alexander.serga...@nyumc.org. Consideration of submitted
applications will start immediately and continue until positions are filled.
