Positions

We are looking for talented postdocs and graduate students to join our team.

We are focusing our efforts on elucidating the mechanisms of various macromolecular complexes involved in most fundamental cellular processes such as transcription, degradation, and modification of RNA. Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for structural biology, biochemistry, and biophysics research.

Postdoctoral candidates should have experience in protein expression, purification, and characterization using biochemical and biophysical approaches. Experience in X-ray crystallography or cryo-EM would be a plus but is not an absolute requirement. Research projects will include both structural (X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM) and biochemical (CLIP, tissue culture, RNAseq, etc) methods.

Postdoctoral applicants should send a single PDF file containing their CV along with a summary of their previous research experience and contact information of three references to alexander.serganov@nyumc.org.

Sackler graduate and MSTP students looking for a rotation should contact Alexander Serganov by e-mail or phone. Research projects will use a large number of different methods and will not necessarily center on structural biology techniques.

We accept highly motivated undergraduate students looking to participate in our research projects. From undergraduate volunteers, we expect a minimal stay of one year and significant time commitment during school year and school breaks.
