Dear All,

 

Applications are invited
for a joint postdoctoral scientist position in the laboratories of Dr. Thomas
Hund and Dr. Krishna Chinthalapudi in The Davis Heart and Lung Research
Institute at the Ohio State University. The research project focuses on
understanding the role of ion channels in health and disease. We combine
state-of-the-art structural biology approaches including cryo-EM, X-ray
crystallography, and electrophysiology with biochemical, biophysical, and cell
biological methods to investigate how ion channels 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 K3 direct
electron detector, imaging phase plates, and an image spherical aberration
corrector. In addition, our labs have access to 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
Ph.D. 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 Thomas Hund (Thomas.Hund@osumc.edu).

 

Thank you,

Krishna
