Dear All,

 

Applications
are invited for a joint postdoctoral scientist position in the laboratories of
Dr. Sarah Heissler and Dr. Krishna Chinthalapudi at the Ohio State University.
The research project focuses on understanding the role of myosin motors and
cytoskeletal proteins in health and disease. We combine state-of-the-art
structural biology approaches including cryo-EM, and X-ray crystallography with
biochemical, biophysical, and cell biological methods to investigate the
structure and function of myosin motors and their regulation by cytoskeletal
proteins.

 

 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, and an image spherical
aberration corrector. In addition, our labs have access to a Glacios with a
Falcon III detector and a Ceta-D camera for MicroED analysis at the world-class
Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis (CEMAS) at the Ohio State
University.

 

 Candidates
must have a Ph.D. degree and strong practical experience in structural biology.
Experience in molecular biology techniques, structural biology, 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 Sarah
Heissler (sarah.heissler@osumc.edu) and Krishna Chinthalapudi (krishna.chinthalapudi@osumc.edu).

 

Best,

Krishna
