Dear All,

 

We are excited to announce the opening
of a joint postdoctoral scientist position in the laboratories of Dr. Sarah
Heissler and Dr. Krishna Chinthalapudi at the Ohio State University. This
exceptional opportunity focuses on groundbreaking research to unravel the role
of myosin motors and cytoskeletal proteins in both health and disease. Our
approach combines cutting-edge structural biology techniques, including cryo-EM
and X-ray crystallography, with biochemical, biophysical, and cell biological methods
to investigate the structure and function of myosin motors, as well as
their regulation by cytoskeletal proteins.

 

Our
laboratories are well 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 cryo-FIB at
the world-class Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis (CEMAS) at
the Ohio
State University.

 

To be eligible for this position,
candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree and possess considerable experience in
structural biology. If you also have a background in molecular biology
techniques, and/or high-resolution imaging, it would be highly desirable. To
apply for this exciting opportunity, kindly email us your CV, a short cover
letter detailing your research experience and interests, and the contact
information for three references to Sarah Heissler (sarah.heissler@osumc.edu)
and Krishna Chinthalapudi (krishna.chinthalapudi@osumc.edu).

 

Best,

Krishna
