We apply cryo-electron microscopy and single-molecule methods to study medically relevant macromolecular complexes

Opportunities

Job openings

We are currently recruiting postdoctoral researches, graduate & undergraduate students and a laboratory assistant.  Professor Kulczyk is a faculty member of the Rutgers Graduate Programs in Quantitative Biomedicine (Click here), Biochemistry and Molecular Sciences (Click here) and in Microbiology (Click here).  If you are interested in applying single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and single-molecule methods to study large macromolecular assemblies with medical relevance or would like to get involved in development of novel correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) techniques, please send your CV including contact details of three referees and a cover letter briefly describing your research experience to arek.kulczyk@rutgers.edu.

Methods that we use are truly interdisciplinary in nature, as they are synthesizing concepts from multiple fields including: biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering and computer science.  Thus candidates with experience in any of the above fields are encouraged to apply.  The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2017 was awarded for development of cryo-EM for the high-resolution structure determination of biomolecules in solution; now is the time to join the cryo-EM field.

We strongly believe that all organizations, in particular institutions of higher educational, should strive for building diverse communities of individuals with a plethora of backgrounds, free of discrimination based on racial and ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious belief, or socioeconomic status.

If you are an inquisitive person who enjoys looking at a scientific problem from different perspectives and sharing ideas with others, then this job might be ideal for you.  Needless to say you will be expected to be productive, meet deadlines and have fun while working in the lab.
