Postdoctoral Position in CryoEM at Columbia University

https://www.cmholab.org/postdoctoral-position-cryoem

The Ho Lab is seeking a talented and enthusiastic postdoctoral research  
scholar to join us in using cryoEM, cryoFIB-SEM, and cryoET to explore how  
membrane protein complexes mediate host-pathogen interactions in the malaria  
parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Projects include single-particle cryoEM  
structure determination of native membrane protein complexes purified  
directly from malaria parasites and cryoFIB enabled cryoelectron tomography  
of the host-pathogen interface in parasite-infected red blood cells. Our lab  
is located in the Department of Microbiology & Immunology at Columbia  
University in New York City, New York. If this sounds interesting to you,  
please send a cover letter, CV, and contact information for three references  
to Dr. Chi-Min Ho at ch3516@cumc.columbia.edu. More information here: www.
cmholab.org/research. We’re excited to meet you!  

We are looking for innovative, resourceful and resilient scientists who  
enjoy learning new things, meeting new people, and being part of an open,  
collaborative team. Successful candidates will join a vibrant, collaborative  
research community and have access to state-of-the-art electron microscopy  
facilities at Columbia, including:  

-four Titan Krios microscopes with a Gatan BioQuantum energy filter, K3  
Summit direct electron detector, and Volta phase plate

-an Aquilos cryo-FIB/SEM microscope, Leica cryo-correlative fluorescence  
light microscope, Zeiss LSM800 cryo-confocal with AiryScan detector

-F20 screening microscope with a K2 Summit direct electron detector

-Salary and benefits are competitive based on experience.

Qualifications:

-Ph.D. or equivalent in biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology and/or  
microbiology.

-A strong background and proven track record in protein biochemistry,  
structural biology, molecular biology, microbiology, or tissue culture is  
preferred.  

-Previous experience in cryoEM, cryoET, or cryoFIB is desired, but not  
required.  

-Experience with machine learning, Python, C++, or MATLAB is a plus.  

-Strong communication, interpersonal and organizational skills, and  
excellent attention to detail are always appreciated!
