A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Michelle Krogsgaard at the Department of Pathology and NYU Cancer Institute, NYU Medical School in New York to study conformational changes in the T-cell receptor complex that could be responsible for mediating TCR signaling using novel imaging and biophysical techniques (Krogsgaard, Mol Cell, 2003; Krogsgaard et al., Nature, 2005; Krogsgaard and Davis, NI, 2005).

Interested candidates should have a recent Ph.D. in biochemistry, biophysics, bioengineering or related fields. This position focuses on bio-imaging at the single-molecule level. Experience in fluorescence microcopy (live cell imaging and FRET) is favorable. Other experience in chemical modification of proteins, cell culture, protein purification, flow cytometry and molecular biology would be a plus. The successful candidate is expected to be highly motivated, creative and capable of contributing productively in a team environment. Excellent publication record and communication skills in oral and written English are essential.

The laboratory is located in the Smilow Research Center: http://www.med.nyu.edu/smilowcenter/ , a new 13-story building with excellent research facilities on the NYU Medical School Campus located in mid-town Manhattan.

Salary and benefits will be commensurate with experience. Interested applicants should forward a cover letter summarizing current and future research interests (max 1 page), curriculum vitae, list of publications, and the names, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of three references by e-mail to:
