Postdoctoral Scientist - Aydogan Lab

Dissect the molecular basis of a cellular clock that times the onset of cytokinesis independently of the nucleus and mitotic CDK-cyclin activity. Working with a structural biology and biochemistry partner lab at New York University, the project combines protein purification, in vitro and in vivo reconstitution, live fluorescence microscopy and cryo-EM to study protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions behind developmental timing.

PhD in the life sciences; protein biochemistry is preferred. Proven independent wet-lab research and at least one leading first-author paper (published or preprint) from doctoral work. Persistence with challenging problems and a collaborative, communicative approach.
