Dear All,

 

Applications are invited
for a joint postdoctoral scientist position in the laboratories of Dr. Isabelle
Deschenes and Dr. Krishna Chinthalapudi at the Ohio State University. The
research project focuses on understanding the role of sodium channels in health
and disease. We combine state-of-the-art structural biology approaches
including cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography, electrophysiology with biochemical,
biophysical and cell biological methods to investigate how sodium channel function
in health and disease.

 

Our laboratories are
equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation for the proposed studies and
have generous access to a Titan Krios G3i Cryo-TEM equipped with a bioquantum
imaging filter and a K3 direct electron detector, imaging phase plates,
STEM/TEM tomography, and an image spherical aberration corrector. In addition,
our labs have access to a Glacios with a falcon III detector and Ceta-D camera
for MicroED analysis at the world-class Center for Electron Microscopy and
Analysis (CEMAS) at the Ohio State University.

 

Applicants must have a
PhD in structural biology, biochemistry, or a related field. Expertise in
molecular biology techniques, membrane protein expression and purification, electrophysiology
and/or high-resolution imaging are desirable.

 

To be considered for this position, please email
your curriculum vitae, a short cover letter with research experience and
interests and contact information for three references to Krishna Chinthalapudi
(krishna.chinthalapudi@osumc.edu) and Isabelle Deschenes (isabelle.deschenes@osumc.edu).

 

Thank you,

Krishna
