Postdoctoral Position at Ohio State University


Ohio, United States
Application deadline: 01 Sep 2023


An opening of a joint postdoctoral scientist position in the laboratories of Dr. Sarah Heissler and Dr. Krishna Chinthalapudi at the Ohio State University has become available. This exceptional opportunity focuses on groundbreaking research to unravel the role of myosin motors and cytoskeletal proteins in both health and disease. Their approach combines cutting-edge structural biology techniques, including cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography, with biochemical, biophysical, and cell biological methods to deeply investigate the structure and function of myosin motors, as well as their regulation by cytoskeletal proteins.

Their laboratories are well equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation for the proposed studies and have generous access to a Titan Krios G3i Cryo-TEM equipped with a BioQuantum imaging filter and a K3 direct electron detector, imaging phase plates, and an image spherical aberration corrector. In addition, our labs have access to a Glacios with a Falcon III detector and a Ceta-D camera for MicroED analysis at the world-class Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis (CEMAS) at the Ohio State University.

To be eligible for this position, candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree and possess considerable experience in structural biology. If you also have a background in molecular biology techniques, and/or high-resolution imaging, it would be highly desirable. To apply for this exciting opportunity, kindly email us your CV, a short cover letter detailing your research experience and interests, and the contact information for three references to Sarah Heissler (sarah.heissler@osumc.edu) and Krishna Chinthalapudi (krishna.chinthalapudi@osumc.edu).
