We are seeking highly motivated individuals for postdoctoral positions in
the Structural Biology Program of the Sloan-Kettering Institute, Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, NYC, USA.
The lab develops cutting-edge techniques (Nature,doi:10.1038/ nature09163 (
2010)) aimed at gaining a mechanistic understanding of fundamental
biological processes. Major emphasis is placed on development of novel
single-molecule detection and manipulation instrumentation that pushes the
envelop in sensitivity as well as in spatial and temporal resolution.
Current projects focus on real-time, in-vivo super-resolution optical
nanoscopy and on deep-tissue, chemically-selective non-linear optical
imaging. Another area of interest involves high-precision combined single-
molecule fluorescence/optical force- and torque-spectroscopy.
Successful applicants will fully utilize the superb technological
capabilities of the lab and apply the tools developed to outstanding
biological questions. Ongoing projects include: molecular recognition and
fidelity mechanisms of DNA replication, mRNA transcription and protein
synthesis machines; gene expression and DNA damage response pathways in the
context of the nuclear interior; dynamic organization of biological
membranes at the nano-scale with emphasis on the early steps of cell-
signaling; trafficking at nerve terminals and regulation of synaptic
transmission.
Requirements: Applicants must possess a Ph.D. degree in Physics, Biophysics,
Chemistry or a relevant field. Demonstrated ability to work effectively in
a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment is essential. Experience with
single-molecule detection instrumentation, non-linear/ultrafast laser
optics and nanofabrication techniques is preferred. Individuals with
additional working knowledge of basic biochemistry, cell biology and/or
neuroscience techniques are strongly encouraged to apply. Please send a CV,
names and contact information of three references, and a short description
of your scientific interests by email to Dr. Alexandros Pertsinidis (
P******[email protected]).
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center is an equal opportunity employer with
a strong commitment to enhancing the diversity of its faculty and staff.
Women and applicants from diverse racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds
are encouraged to apply. |
