An NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Margaret Kielian, Professor of Cell Biology and Samuel H. Golding Chair in Microbiology.
We use enveloped alphaviruses and flaviviruses as highly developed and medically important systems to study virus-membrane fusion and virus assembly at the molecular level. Recent work includes studies of the rubella virus membrane fusion mechanism (Dubé, PLoS Pathogens 2014, 10(12): e1004530), the biogenesis of the dengue virus membrane fusion protein (Zheng, Nature Communications, 2014, 5: 3877), and live cell imaging studies of alphavirus budding (cover article, Martinez, J. Virol. 2014, 88: 6922). The laboratory has a multidisciplinary approach and a collaborative and interactive atmosphere. Further information and links to publications are on the lab and faculty websites:

Highly motivated candidates with a strong background in virology, protein biochemistry, cell biology, and/or molecular biology are encouraged to apply. Recent PhD graduates are strongly preferred. Candidates should have strong research skills and the ability to work independently and as part of a team. First author publication(s) in peer-reviewed, English language journals are required. To apply, please email a CV including publication list, a brief description of research experience and career goals, a statement describing how your research background will enable you to contribute to our research program, and the names and contact information for 3 references to: Margaret.kielian@einstein.yu.edu Please make the email subject "Kielian Postdoctoral Application."
Candidates with outstanding credentials may also be eligible for a Harry Eagle Fellowship http://www.einstein.yu.edu/departments/cell-biology/harry-eagle-scholar/
Our laboratory is in the Cell Biology Department at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City ( http://www.einstein.yu.edu/departments/cell-biology/ ). The department has a strong and interactive core of postdoctoral fellows and graduate students working in diverse areas of cell biology. The college has an outstanding academic environment with vigorous NIH Centers of excellence and extensive core research facilities. There is a vibrant and interactive community of postdoctoral fellows at Einstein http://einsteinpostdocs.info/ The college is located in a pleasant residential Bronx community with easy access to the outstanding cultural and recreational opportunities of New York. Subsidized postdoctoral housing is available through the college.
The Albert Einstein College of Medicine is an Equal Opportunity Employer. |
