We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoc Research Associate to join Dr. Ji Sun's lab at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (https://www.stjude.org/research/labs/sun-lab.html ). Successful candidates will lead research projects focusing on disease-causing protein complexes, using an integrative approach combining structural, biochemical, and cell biology methods (Myasnikov A et al., Cell 2021; Zhu H et al., Biorxiv 2022, Jiang M et al., Cell Research, 2023).  The lab has full access to the state-of-the-art cryo-EM facility in St. Jude, which houses a 300kV Titan Krios and a 200 kV Talos Arctica electron microscope equipped with K3 detectors.

The ideal candidate should have: (1) a Ph.D. degree in biochemistry, structural biology, biophysics or related fields. (2) project management and scientific writing experience. (3) excellent communication skills and a collaborative attitude. Additional expertise in cell or structural biology (single particle cryo-EM) would be a plus but not required.
