Postdoctoral Position in Structural Biology of Myosin Motors – Chinthalapudi Lab, The Ohio State University
Ohio, United States
Application deadline: 10 Oct 2025
The Ohio State University are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral scientist to lead innovative research into the roles of myosin motors in cardiovascular function and disease. Their multidisciplinary team integrates cutting-edge techniques including cryo-EM, cryo-ET, X-ray crystallography, electrophysiology, biochemistry, biophysics, and advanced cell biology, to answer fundamental questions with direct biomedical relevance.
What they Offer:
- Access to world-class facilities, including generous time on a Titan Krios G3i Cryo-TEM (K3 detector; phase plates; aberration corrector), as well as a Glacios Cryo-EM with Falcon III detector and Ceta-D camera for MicroED analysis at OSU’s renowned Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis (CEMAS).
- A collaborative environment that values curiosity-driven discovery while supporting your independence.
- Opportunities to develop new skills across disciplines like structural biology, biochemistry, and cell physiology, and contribute to projects with significant translational potential.
- Strong mentorship in both scientific growth and career advancement.
Who You Are:
- Hold a Ph.D. in structural biology, biochemistry, or a related discipline.
- Have hands-on expertise in structural biology routines (ideally cryo-EM); experience with biophysical and functional studies is advantageous.
- Driven by scientific curiosity, with strong communication skills and an eagerness to work collaboratively.
If you’re excited by high-impact science at the interface of structure and function and want access to exceptional instrumentation, this position is for you!
To apply:
Please send your CV, a brief cover letter describing your research experience/interests & career goals, and contact information for two to three references to Krishna.Chinthalapudi(at)osumc.edu.
