We are looking to recruit an individual who will assume the role of PROGRAM LEADER for one of several high-throughput (HT) programs within the Albert Einstein Macromolecular Therapeutic Development Facility. At least three years of experience with high-throughput approaches and automation, as applied to protein production and structural biology, is strictly required.
This position will be associated with the Enzyme Function Initiative (EFI) and the New York Structural Genomics Research Consortium (NYSGRC), two programs funded through the NIH NIGMS to pursue high-throughput protein expression, structural characterization and functional analysis. The successful candidate would oversee the day-to-day activities of cloning, prokaryotic expression and purification of EFI and NYSGRC sponsored targets. The candidate will also be expected to interact effectively with a large multi-institutional team possessing expertise in informatics, structural biology, computational chemistry, enzymology, genetics and metabolomics. This position requires outstanding management, organizational and leadership skills, and provides considerable opportunities for scientific and technology development. These HT programs are housed within the Macromolecular Therapeutics Development Facility, which is fully equipped to pursue all aspects of state-of-the-art structural genomics. The Protein Production Core exploits extensive automation and an active program focused on the development of novel protein expression/purification strategies, utilizing both prokaryotic and eukaryotic hosts. Candidates should contact Ron Seidel at ronald.seidel<at>einstein.yu.edu.
