Description

Postdoctoral scientist position available in Biophysics/ Cellular imaging NYU Medical School, New York.

A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Michelle Krogsgaard at the Department of Pathology and NYU Cancer Institute, NYU Medical School in New York to study conformational changes in the T-cell receptor complex that could be responsible for mediating TCR signaling using novel imaging and biophysical techniques (Krogsgaard et al., Mol Cell, 2003; Krogsgaard et al., Nature, 2005; Krogsgaard and Davis, NI, 2005).

Interested candidates should have a recent Ph.D. in immunology, biochemistry, biophysics, bioengineering or related fields. This position focuses on site-specific labeling of cell surface proteins with biophysical probes and bio-imaging at the single-molecule level. Experience in fluorescence microcopy (live cell imaging, FRET, TIRFM) is favorable. Other experience in chemical synthesis, chemical modification of proteins, cell culture, protein purification, flow cytometry and molecular biology would be a plus. The successful candidate is expected to be highly motivated, creative and capable of contributing productively in a team environment. Excellent publication record and communication skills in oral and written English are essential.

The laboratory is located in the Smilow Research Center: http://www.med.nyu.edu/smilowcenter/ , a new 13-story building with excellent research facilities on the NYU Medical School Campus located in mid-town Manhattan.
