The Alon lab at Yale Medical School has openings for outstanding recently graduated scientists who are excited about our research. They seek individuals with a passion for research and a strong background in biochemistry, structural (cryo-EM, x-ray), molecular or cell biology
They are focused on gaining mechanistic insights into the activation, signaling, and ligand recognition of understudied and interesting membrane receptors for sterol signaling molecules
They apply a multidisciplinary approach, combining structural biology, biophysics, pharmacology, drug discovery, and cell biology
Visit their lab webpage for details
A complete list of Dr. Alon’s publications is available
Candidates must have a PhD degree or equivalent in biological sciences with not more than 1 year of postdoctoral training. Interested candidates should have training and experience in two or more of the following:
Protein purification from E. coli, insect and/or mammalian cells
Structural biology (X-ray or cryoEM)
Biochemical and biophysical techniques
Cell biology and imaging (experience with generating CRISPR KO lines is preferred)
Computational techniques related to structure or drug discovery such as protein design, MD simulations, and virtual docking
Interested applicants should send a cover letter, CV, a 1-page research summary, and contact information for three references to Dr. Assaf Alon (assaf.alon@yale.edu)
