Job Description
A postdoctoral fellowship position is available in the Laboratory of Structural Cell Biology, headed by Dr. Naoko Mizuno. The laboratory in The Cell and Developmental Biology Center (CDBC) of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is located on the Main campus in Bethesda, MD.
We seek a highly motivated and creative individual with an interest in neuronal shape development, cell-cell interactions, and with an expertise in cell biology, structural biology, neurobiology or cryo-electron microscopy. The selected candidate will use interdisciplinary techniques to solve biomedically relevant questions using our state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopy infrastructure located on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. Our facility hosts 2 Titan Krios, 1 Glacios, 1 Aquilos, 1 Thunder CLEM and a sample preparation facility. Our Biochemistry and Biophysics Core Facilities provide additional experimental support.
Qualifications:
We are a group with various expertise performing interdisciplinary structural cell biology research. The candidate should have expertise in one of related disciplines, such as protein biochemistry, cell biology, neurobiology, structural biology, or image processing. An interest in technical development is preferable. Cryo-electron microscopy and hands on experience on a Krios microscope with a direct electron detector would be a plus but it is not required. We provide necessary training. A PhD or equivalent experience is required. More information on our research can be found at https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/science/laboratory-structural-cell-biology .
To Apply:
Suitably qualified candidates should submit their curriculum vitae, cover letter, and names and contact information for three referees to Dr. Naoko Mizuno at naoko.mizuno@nih.gov
Salary will be commensurate with research experience. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
The NIH is dedicated to building a community in its training and employment programs and encourages the application and nomination of qualified women, minorities, and individuals with disabilities.
