Postdoctoral Research Associate

The Ghanim lab at Princeton University is seeking a postdoctoral candidate (or more senior researcher) to study macromolecular complexes involved in LINE-1 retrotransposition using an integrated biochemical and structural approach with a focus on cryo-EM. The postdoctoral scholar will have access to cryo-EM instrumentation and computational resources through the university's core facilities. The start date is negotiable; terms of appointment depend on rank and funding.

Positions at the postdoctoral rank are typically one year with the possibility of renewal; more senior ranks may include multi-year appointments.

• Conduct research on macromolecular complexes involved in LINE-1 retrotransposition using biochemical and structural methods, with emphasis on cryo-EM.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team and contribute to challenging nucleoprotein biochemistry and cryo-EM projects.
• Present findings, contribute to manuscript preparation, and support group training as appropriate.

• PhD in Molecular Biology or a related field (or expected by start date).
• Experience in one or more of the following areas: protein purification, protein–nucleic acid biochemistry, cryo-electron microscopy, and/or structural biology.
• Fluent in English (written and spoken).
• Motivated, good communication skills, and ability to work in a collaborative environment.
• Some experience in cryo-EM or eukaryotic protein expression is a plus.
