Scientific focus area
Cell Biology, Structural Biology, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry
Our laboratory, which specializes in centrosome organization and function, is now seeking a postdoctoral fellow to study the function and dysregulation of mammalian polo-like kinase 4 and 1 (Plk4 and Plk1) that are tightly linked to the development of aneuploidy and cancer.
About the position
As a postdoctoral fellow in our lab, you will use cell biological, biochemical, biophysical, and structural approaches, such as super-resolution imaging, in vitro reconstitution, X-ray crystallography, and cryo-EM, to delineate the molecular basis and structural rules that govern the centrosomal architecture and function. We encourage phd graduates with expertise in cell-biology, X-ray crystallography, and cryo-EM and a keen interest in learning about the organization, function, and relevance of centrosomes to pathophysiological disorders such as cancer and AIDS to apply.
