[ccp4bb] Open faculty position in structural biology, CUNY Advanced Science Research Center (New York City)

[Daniel Keedy]

Hello all,

The Structural Biology Initiative at the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center 
has an open faculty position:

https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25938

While there is interest in hiring a scientist whose research program includes 
substantial use of cryo-EM/cryo-ET approaches for a variety of reasons, we 
underscore that our priority is hiring an outstanding colleague as based on 
overall strengths in research, teaching, and collegiality.

The ASRC is a wonderful place to do science in general, and structural biology 
in particular.  Please see the job posting for all the details — and propagate 
to anyone who may be interested.

Thank you,

Daniel Keedy

[ccp4bb] Postdoc Opening - Multi-Dataset Crystallography and Allostery - Keedy Lab, New York City

[Daniel Keedy]

The Daniel Keedy Lab at the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center in New York 
City has an available position for a Postdoctoral Researcher starting 
immediately.

The Keedy Lab aims to elucidate the conformational ensembles of proteins and to 
understand how they are shifted by perturbations, including mutations, 
protein:protein interactions, and ligands, to control function.  We are 
especially interested in how “hidden” conformational ensembles drive 
differences in allosteric regulatory mechanisms for protein tyrosine 
phosphatases (PTPs), which are under-studied but biologically critical.  To 
explore these questions, we are developing new multi-dataset approaches in 
X-ray crystallography that couple advances in automated data collection and 
multi-state modeling algorithms.  For more information, visit our newly 
designed lab website: www.keedylab.org<http://www.keedylab.org>

The ideal applicant should have a strong background in macromolecular X-ray 
crystallography, whether experimental, computational, or both.  Experience 
writing or contributing to scientific software is also preferred.  Candidates 
with other expertise in biophysics, computational biology, or related areas are 
also welcome to apply.

The CUNY Advanced Science Research Center is a new cutting-edge research 
institution located in upper Manhattan in New York City -- the "greatest city 
in the world".  The Structural Biology Initiative of the ASRC features seven 
tenure-track and research-track faculty members, pursuing diverse research 
problems using X-ray diffraction, cryo-EM, NMR, mass spectrometry, solution 
biophysics, and advanced microscopy.  The ASRC is immediately adjacent to the 
New York Structural Biology Center, a consortium of CUNY and eight other New 
York academic institutions with world-class facilities, and 70 miles from 
Brookhaven National Laboratory, featuring the newly constructed National 
Synchrotron Light Source II, now the brightest synchrotron light source in the 
United States.  The ASRC will also enjoy use of a new dedicated 
high-performance computing cluster starting this fall.

You can officially apply for the position here:

a brief description of your interests if you would like to discuss possible 
projects.

[ccp4bb] Wanted: Research Computing Engineer in Structural Biology (+ other fields) in New York City

[Daniel Keedy]

Hello computational crystallography folks,

My institution, the new CUNY Advanced Science Research Center ( 
asrc.cuny.edu ) in New York City, is looking for a 
Research Computing Engineer.  This is a nice opportunity for someone with broad 
interests in computational research to interact with scientists across a 
spectrum of exciting fields here at the ASRC, including Structural Biology ( 
structbio.asrc.cuny.edu ) and also Nanoscience, 
Photonics, Neuroscience, and Environmental Science.  Their role would include 
administering our computing infrastructure, including an incoming CPU- and 
GPU-based high-performance computing cluster, and liaising with ASRC scientists 
to solve computational research problems.

You can apply by following this link to the official ad (I suggest you scroll 
down to “The ASRC invites applications...”):

[ccp4bb] Open Research Positions: Structural Biophysics of Protein Allostery, in New York City

[Daniel Keedy]

The Daniel Keedy Lab at the ADVANCED SCIENCE RESEARCH CENTER (ASRC) AT CUNY in 
New York City has available positions for a POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLAR and a RESEARCH 
ASSOCIATE starting in 2018.  The lab’s goal is to elucidate the role of protein 
flexibility in allosteric regulation — and to use that knowledge to control the 
function of dynamic, biomedically important enzymes such as tyrosine 
phosphatases.  To do so, we combine cutting-edge experimental and computational 
techniques in structural biology, including multitemperature X-ray 
crystallography, high-throughput protein:ligand structure determination, and 
new algorithms for modeling alternative protein conformations based on electron 
density maps.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLAR POSITION:
a PhD in structural biology, biophysics, computational biology, or a related 
field; multiple years of experience studying proteins or other macromolecules; 
and excitement to try new techniques at both the bench and the keyboard.  
Familiarity with X-ray crystallography, a programming language, and the command 
line are preferred.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE RESEARCH ASSOCIATE POSITION:
an MS, BS, or similar degree in biochemistry, molecular biology, or a related 
field; experience conducting research in a laboratory setting; and excellent 
organizational and communication skills.  Experience with cloning, protein 
purification, and/or X-ray crystallography are preferred.

ABOUT THE ASRC:
The ADVANCED SCIENCE RESEARCH CENTER (ASRC) at the Graduate Center of the City 
University of New York (CUNY) elevates scientific research and education at 
CUNY through initiatives in five distinctive, but increasingly interconnected 
disciplines: STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY, NANOSCIENCE, PHOTONICS, NEUROSCIENCE, and 
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES.  The ASRC promotes a collaborative, interdisciplinary 
research culture with researchers from each of the initiatives working 
side-by-side in the ASRC’s core facilities, sharing equipment that is among the 
most advanced available.  The ASRC is next-door to the cutting-edge 
inter-institutional NEW YORK STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY CENTER (NYSBC), and is also 
just 70 miles from the newly-constructed NATIONAL SYNCHROTRON LIGHT SOURCE II 
(NSLS-II), now the brightest synchrotron light source in the US.

Contact Dr. Keedy at 
daniel.ke...@asrc.cuny.edu<mailto:daniel.ke...@asrc.cuny.edu> with a brief 
description of your research experience, why you are interested in the lab, and 
your future research goals.  Come join us!
