Post Doctoral Scholar

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral scientist position in the laboratory of Dr. Krishna Chinthalapudi at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.The research project focuses on understanding the role of the actomyosin cytoskeleton in health and disease. We combine state-of-the-art structural biology approaches including cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography with biochemical, biophysical, and cell biological methods to investigate how the actin cytoskeleton functions in health and disease.

The Chinthalapudi lab is equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation for the proposed studies and has generous access to a Titan Krios G3i Cryo-TEM equipped with a K3 direct electron detector, imaging phase plates, and an image spherical aberration corrector. In addition, our labs have access to Glacios with a Falcon III detector and Ceta-D camera for MicroED analysis at the world-class Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis (CEMAS) at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

Prospective candidates with additional questions about this position should contact Dr. Krishna Chinthalapudi (krishna.chinthalapudi@osumc.edu).
