POSITION: Postdoctoral Associate STARTING DATE: October 1, 2021 LOCATION: Department of Molecular Biology & Genetics, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14850
SUMMARY: This grant-supported postdoctoral position involves developing CRISPR-based genome editing. CRISPR-based genome editing. BASIC FUNCTION AND RESPONSIBILITY:
Candidates are expected to have published at least one first-authored paper in a reputable journal and hold a Ph.D. degree before arrival. Strong background and experiences in single particle cryo-EM (or X-ray crystallography), is capable of carrying out macromolecular structure determination independently. Strong background and experiences in biochemistry, preferably in nucleic acid biochemistry.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
A NIH-funded postdoc position is available in Ailong Ke's Lab at Cornell University, Ithaca, USA. The main theme of the lab is to understand the underlying mechanism of RNA-guided processes inside cell. Projects for postdoctoral training typically involve nucleic acid biochemistry, cryo-EM based structure determination, and further functional validation in vivo and in vitro.
