obtained a university-approved disability/medical or religious
exemption, regardless of their role and work location.
New hires are required to provide documentation showing full
vaccination status (that is, completion of two shots of the Moderna or
Pfizer vaccine or one shot of the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson) before
their first day of work. If a new hire's vaccination is not complete or
information is not received by their start date, the first day of work
will be delayed. It is possible in some cases that an offer of
employment may be withdrawn.

Cornell University Ithaca, NY POSITION: Postdoctoral Associate STARTING DATE: Nov 1st, 2022 LOCATION: Department of Molecular Biology & Genetics
Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14850 SUMMARY: This grant-supported postdoctoral position involves in developing CRISPR-based genome editing. BASIC FUNCTION AND RESPONSIBILITY: 1. Candidates are expected to have published at least one first-author paper in a reputable journal and hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree before arrival. 2. Strong background and experiences in single particle cryo-EM (or X-ray crystallography), is capable of carrying out macromolecular structure determination independently. 3. Strong background and experiences in biochemistry, preferably in nucleic acid biochemistry. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
A NIH-funded postdoc position is available in Ailong Ke’s Lab at Cornell University, Ithaca, USA. The main theme of the lab is to understand the underlying mechanism of RNA-guided processes inside cell. Projects for postdoctoral training typically involve nucleic acid biochemistry, cryo-EM based structure determination, and further functional validation in vivo and in vitro. Please visit our laboratory and departmental web sites for research and publication details (Molecular Cell. 2019 Jun 6;74(5):936-950. Science. 2018 Jul 6;361(6397). Nature. 2017 Oct 5;550(7674):137-141. Cell. 2017 Jun 29;170(1):48-60. Nature. 2016 Feb 25;530(7591):499-503.). We are looking for a highly motivated individual with experiences in biochemistry and cryo-EM (or X-ray crystallography). There is routine access to 200 and 300 keV electron microscopes. The trainee will interact on a day-to-day basis with peers in the areas of genome editing and single molecule biophysics. We aim to provide an interdiscipline training environment to efficiently convert high-resolution mechanistic understandings to novel genome editing applications. QUALIFICATIONS: Candidates are expected to have published at least one first-author paper in a reputable journal and hold a Ph.D. SALARY: TBD SUPERVISION: Dr. Ailong Ke SUPERVISION EXERCISED: None APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: Interested applicants should submit a CV, cover letter, research and/or extension statement, contact information for 3 references and a statement of contribution to diversity, equity, and inclusion via Academic Jobs Online at the following link: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/22875. Diversity and Inclusion are a part of Cornell University's heritage. We are a recognized employer and educator valuing AA/EEO, Protected Veterans, and Individuals with Disabilities. We also recognize a lawful preference in employment practices for Native Americans living on or near Indian reservations. |
