The position concerns research on signaling mechanisms that govern the establishment and maintenance of epithelial cell polarity and polarized protein trafficking and their relevance for morphogenesis and cell transformation. See: http://www.einstein.yu.edu/faculty/11106/anne-muesch/.
Approaches include quantitative protein trafficking analysis in intact cells by time lapse imaging of fluorescently-tagged proteins, immunofluorescence and confocal laser microscopy to study cell morphology and sub-cellular protein distribution, biochemical approaches to protein trafficking and protein signaling, and medium throughput RNAi screens.
The position requires a PhD degree in molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, or related biomedical fields, and an interest in principle questions in cell biology. We are seeking a candidate with high self-motivation, and ability to work independently and in a team-oriented setting. Please send applications by e-mail with a detailed CV and names of three individuals who are willing to provide a letter of recommendation to : anne.muesch@einstein.yu.edu
