About this position
Weill Cornell Medicine is advertising a Postdoctoral Associate in Biochemistry & Biophysics in the Reck-Peterson Lab, focused on the mechanisms of intracellular transport across molecular, cellular, and organismal scales.
The project areas include: (1) how defects in intracellular transport contribute to neurodegenerative disease, with emphasis on LRRK2 and Parkinson’s disease; (2) mechanisms of organelle “hitchhiking” in filamentous fungi and their implications for secondary metabolite production; or (3) other related intracellular transport projects.
Research methods and technical areas mentioned include mammalian cell culture, lentivirus infection, molecular biology, quantitative fluorescence microscopy, protein purification, biochemical assays, CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, and cryo-electron microscopy/tomography. The role also involves independent and collaborative research, data analysis, manuscript and abstract preparation, conference presentations, and lab support/supervision.
Eligibility: recent PhD in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Neuroscience, or a related field; experience with cell-based experiments, biochemistry, and structural biology; strong communication skills; excellent quantitative skills. Preferred experience includes Excel, GraphPad Prism, ImageJ, and Adobe Illustrator.
Funding and terms: salary starts at $77,000/year, with possible adjustment under the Postdoc Union CBA. Initial appointment is for 1 year, renewable annually depending on performance and funding. Visa options may include J-1 and H-1B.
