Description

The New York Structural Biology Center is a shared research organization, owned and operated by nine eminent universities and medical schools in the New York area, and devoted to the structural analysis of biological processes through the use of NMR, X-ray crystallography, and electron microscopy.

We are seeking a Research Associate to work in the protein production/X-ray crystallography lab.  Duties will focus on protein expression in eukaryotic cells -- primarily baculovirus expression in insect cells and stable transfection in mammalian cells.  The successful candidate will also be responsible for maintenance of eukaryotic cell lines, preparation of specialty growth media, and any required cell-based assays.  The candidate will also assist with purification of the expressed proteins and preparation of crystallization trays.

Salary level is commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Requirements

Candidates must meet the following requirements to be considered:
   - a Bachelor's degree (Master's preferred) in biology, biochemistry, or a closely related discipline
   - extensive experience (4+ years) in insect and/or mammalian cell culture technique
   - proven ability to work on multiple independent projects at the same time
We will not consider any PhD level applicants for this position.

Experience in molecular cloning, protein purification, and protein crystallization will be an asset, as will any experience with other eukaryotic expression techniques, such as adenoviral transfection.  We expect the candidate to have excellent communication, record-keeping, and time-management skills.  As an organization that encourages growth, we hope that the candidate shows a broader interest in structural biology and could eventually aid in data collection of crystallized proteins.
