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.
