Research Assistant Position in Structural Biology of Macromolecular Complexes

The Rockefeller University, a premier biomedical research institute, seeks a Research Assistant to join our Laboratory of Protein and Nucleic Acid Chemistry.

The successful applicant will be part of a creative and highly motivated team of biochemists and structural biologists, which are interested in the structure and function of multi-protein complexes involved in key steps of the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology.  The laboratory houses a state of the art large scale fermenter, tissue culture and crystallization rooms and has access to the Rockefeller Structural Biology Resource Center with liquid handling and crystallization robots (Formulator by Formulatrix and Phoenix by Art Robbins respectively) and a Rigaku/MSC microMax 007 HF X-ray generator.

B.S. or M.S. degree with a strong background in biochemistry or molecular biology is required. Experience with protein production in insect cells (preferably MultiBac) and familiarity with molecular biology techniques is essential.

The ideal candidate will interact well with other members of the laboratory, be well organized and interested in working in a high quality research environment and collaborate closely with the principal investigator in running the laboratory. Responsibilities will include setting up an insect cell facility as well as general laboratory duties such as inventory, organization and pick-up of supplies and cataloging the laboratory’s clone stocks.
