PhD-level scientist to join a growing structural biology group


Tarrytown, NY, United States, United States
Application deadline: 30 Aug 2018


I would like to make the readers of this list aware of a job opening in my group at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, located just north of New York City.  

They are seeking a PhD-level scientist to join their growing structural biology group. This position will focus exclusively on cryo-electron microscopy of molecules in Regeneron's drug development pipeline, including membrane proteins, large multi-protein assemblies, and antibody-target complexes. This is a tremendous opportunity for an individual to contribute to projects of real medical impact, as well as help establish cryo-electron microscopy as a tool to drive Regeneron's research forward.  

This position will be highly collaborative, interacting with scientists in all areas of Regeneron R&D and beyond. The person hired for this job will need to understand complex research projects involving many different scientific areas, contribute in project meetings to shape the direction of the research, clearly communicate their structural results to an audience of non-structural biologists, and direct the course of their own work without extensive supervision.   This position requires a minimum of a PhD in structural biology, with the thesis research being mostly or completely focused on protein cryo-electron microscopy. Research on an integrated structural biology project (combining cryoEM with other techniques) is acceptable, as long as cryoEM was at the core of the project and represents the majority of the work performed. 

2-4 years of postdoctoral experience in protein cryoEM or closely related fields (e.g. cryo-electron tomography) is also highly desirable.  Experience in other structural biology disciplines such as X-ray crystallography or protein NMR is helpful, but cannot substitute for the cryoEM experience; we are looking for someone with the depth of knowledge that only comes with years of work in the field.
