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
