Jobs in Structural Biology and Related Fields

A NIH-funded postdoctoral position in structural biology is open in Prof. Ailong Ke's laboratory at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA.

Related research projects seek to understand the structure and function of RNA and RNA-protein complexes.The lab is interested in three main research areas:

1. Structure and function of RNA-protein complexes in CRISPR-Cas and other RNA-guided systems;

2. Structural enzymology of nuclease and helicase in DNA degradation and repair;

3. Structure and conformation dynamics of riboswitches and RNA-containing motors.
