Description

The Shubeita laboratory in the program of physics within the Division of Science, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a research associate to work on understanding mechanisms that regulate molecular motor-based axonal transport.

The successful applicant will drive a project aimed at understanding the modes of regulation of bidirectional transport along the axonal microtubules using a combination of cell biological and biophysical approaches. The successful applicant will push the frontier of our understanding of cargo-specific determinants of regulation as well as regulation of molecular motor function via microtubule-associated proteins. The candidate will use state-of-the art facilities and work in a multidisciplinary environment consisting of PhD-level scientists, graduate students and undergraduate students with training in physics, biology, and chemistry.

Applicants must have a PhD in Physics, Biology, Chemistry, or a related field. The successful applicant is required to have experience studying intracellular transport both in the axonal context and in vitro, hands-on experience using optical tweezers, mammalian cell culture, high resolution imaging, and surface chemistry.

For consideration, applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list, and a statement of research interests, all in PDF format. Two letters or recommendation submitted directly by the letter writer are required from all applicants who are not currently employed by NYUAD. If you have any questions, please email Prof. Shubeita at shubeitalab.positions@gmail.com.

The terms of employment are very competitive and include housing and educational subsidies for children. Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the position is filled.
