Postdoctoral Position in Membrane Protein Biology & Ion Channel Physiology — Furukawa Lab, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), New York
The Furukawa lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) https://furukawalab.cshl.edu/ is seeking an enthusiastic Postdoctoral Fellow to join our multidisciplinary team exploring the fundamental biology of membrane proteins and the physiology of ion channels. Our lab combines cutting-edge approaches in structural biology, biophysical techniques (e.g., electrophysiology), and neuroscience approaches to uncover how these essential molecular machines function in health and disease.
What We Do - Our research integrates a broad suite of state-of-the-art techniques, including:
CSHL provides outstanding scientific resources, including a Titan Krios 300 kV cryo-EM equipped with a K3–GIF detector, premier crystallography platforms, and exceptional facilities for FACS sorting, phage and yeast display, proteomics, genomics, transcriptomics, neuroimaging, light microscopy, and animal studies.
Why Join Us? - CSHL offers a uniquely stimulating and collaborative environment, enriched by internationally renowned courses and meetings, including wonderful workshops on cryo-EM, ion channels, and X-ray structural biology. The Furukawa lab has an excellent track record of mentoring postdoctoral scientists toward successful careers in both academia (as assistant professors) and industry.
