Dear Colleagues 

The Alon lab at Yale Medical School has openings for outstanding recently graduated scientists who are excited about our research. We seek individuals with a passion for research and a strong background in biochemistry, structural (cryo-EM, x-ray), molecular
or cell biology

We are focused on gaining mechanistic insights into the activation, signaling, and ligand recognition of understudied and interesting membrane receptors for sterol signaling molecules

We apply a multidisciplinary approach, combining structural biology, biophysics, pharmacology, drug discovery, and cell biology

Candidates must have a PhD degree or equivalent in biological sciences with not more than 1 year of postdoctoral training. Interested candidates should have training and experience in two or more of the following:

    Protein purification from E. coli, insect and/or mammalian cells

    Structural biology (X-ray or cryoEM)

    Biochemical and biophysical techniques

    Cell biology and imaging (experience with generating CRISPR KO lines is preferred)

    Computational techniques related to structure or drug discovery such as protein design, MD simulations, and virtual docking

Interested applicants should send a cover letter, CV, a 1-page research summary, and contact information for three references to Dr. Assaf Alon (assaf.alon@yale.edu)
