Post Doctoral researcher position in NMR and spatio-temporal modelling of biological function
About the Project
We use NMR complemented by other biophysical methods to probe the functional role of intrinsic disorder in biological function. Current foci include investigating facilitated diffusion in the nuclear pore complex, using mimic systems, and engineering optimal conditional splicing in inteins for protein engineering. Results are used to parameterize spatio-temporal modeling to test current and to develop new hypotheses. The project is supported by a new 5 year Federal grant. We have access to NMR and other resources at the New York Structural Biology Center, the Einstein NMR resources and the Einstein HPC core.
Your qualifications
You received your Ph.D. or expect to in the period 2021-now in Chemistry, Physics, Biochemistry or a closely related field. You have a strong interest in NMR spectroscopy, proteins and their structural characterization. Preferably, you also have preliminary experience with solid-state or liquid-state NMR spectroscopy and in the isotopic expression of proteins. You are competent to work in an interdisciplinary team potentially with collaborators. You have a demonstrable ability to work with a high level of independence and diligence and present your ideas and results to a broad scientific audience. You are proficient in the English language.
Position
The appointment will be as a Postdoctoral Associate, currently a unionized position at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Department of Biochemistry. Appointment will be yearly with renewals on mutual agreement.
How to Apply
The desired starting date is January 1st 2025. Your application should be a single pdf file including a cover letter, your CV with a list of publications, and the contact information for three referees. Please send to David.cowburn@einsteinmed.edu.
