Postdoctoral Fellow
–Postdoctoral Fellowship in Structural Neurophysiology at CSHL— Full-time
A postdoctoral position is available for scientists interested in deciphering the biology of membrane proteins and ion channel physiology in the Furukawa lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) in New York, USA. To achieve our research goals, we employ a combined approach that incorporates cryo-EM, crystallography, electrophysiology, imaging, protein engineering, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We also have numerous exciting collaborative projects in cancer immunology (in collaboration with the Janowitz lab at CSHL) and behavioral neuroscience within and outside CSHL. CSHL features state-of-the-art equipment, including a Titan-KRIOS 300 kV electron microscope/K3-GIF detector, crystallography tools, and an excellent facility for phage and yeast display, proteomics, and light microscopy. CSHL has historically offered a unique scientific environment for interacting with scientists within the institute and from outside, through prestigious CSHL courses and meetings (including courses on X-ray Methods in Structural Biology, Cryo-EM, and Ion Channels). The Furukawa lab has a solid track record of educating and promoting postdoctoral researchers to assistant professorships in academia and equivalent positions in industry (please visit “Lab Culture” on our lab homepage – https://furukawalab.labsites.cshl.edu/lab-culture/). A qualified candidate should hold or soon expect to have (within ~1 yr) a Ph.D. in the area of structural biology (crystallography, cryo-EM, cryo-ET), molecular neuroscience/electrophysiology (e.g., patch-clamp electrophysiology, imaging, etc.), membrane protein biochemistry and biophysics, or immunology. Prior experience in one of the above is desirable. Please visit our website (http://furukawalab.labsites.cshl.edu/) to learn about our research and lab culture before applying. Please send a CV with a brief research statement (e.g., achievements and future interests) and provide two to three references to Hiro Furukawa at [Please click the Apply button for the link or address].
