The Aydin Lab in the Department of Molecular Pathobiology at New York University College of Dentistry (New York, NY) seeks a Research Scientist who will investigate the mechanisms governing thylakoid membrane biogenesis in cyanobacteria. The lab uses a combination of physiology, biochemistry, structural biology tools, and molecular and functional imaging techniques. The qualified candidate will also utilize state-of-the-art electron cryo-tomography (cryo-ET) and computational approaches to study the atomic-scale details of membrane-associated processes.

In addition, the candidate will engage in bacterial culturing, including maintaining cell lines, growing adherent and suspension cells, and working with various cyanobacterial strains. This position requires excellent communication, high-quality recordkeeping, and the ability to analyze data. The successful individual will earn opportunities to disseminate research with authorship credit. This position will also maintain general...
