The Department of Cell Biology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine – Montefiore Medical Center invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions from outstanding candidates with an interest and expertise in fundamental cell and molecular biological research in a variety of areas, including computational biology. We are seeking innovative applicants with a bold vision and demonstrated excellence in research, to complement the diverse research programs within the department.
The Department of Cell Biology at Einstein was one of the first in the country (founded in 1961) and has a rich and distinguished history of scientific discovery and innovation, as well as mentoring, training, and education. It consistently ranks among the top 10 in the nation in funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and in the top 5 in NIH funding per investigator. Einstein possesses outstanding research faculty and enjoys an exceptionally collegial and collaborative environment. Our department has very strong ties to other basic science departments, institutes, and centers at Einstein, as well as clinical departments at Montefiore Medical Center. For more information please visit our departmental website: https://www.einsteinmed.edu/departments/cell-biology/
Candidates will be considered for tenure-track positions at all levels. Einstein seeks candidates whose skills and personal and professional experience have prepared them to contribute to our commitment to excellence in research, diversity, collaboration, and to the communities we serve.
Applicants must have a PhD, MD/PhD, MD, or equivalent degree, with a track record of research excellence. Successful candidates are expected to establish and maintain a vibrant research program that will be supportable by extramural funding. Qualified applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, concise (1-2 pages) summary of previous research contributions, a well-articulated research plan (3-4 pages), mentoring/teaching statement, and a diversity/equity/inclusion statement, in a single PDF document to CBsearch@einsteinmed.edu by February 23, 2024. Applicants should also arrange to have three letters of reference sent directly to this email address.
Recruitments may be at hired at Assistant, Associate or Professor level. In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range is $145,000-$260,000. Einstein considers factors such as (but not limited to) scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate’s work experience, education/training, key skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and organizational considerations when extending an offer.

Title: Postdoctoral Position, Laboratory of Dr. B. Hilda
Ye,
PhD
JOB DESCRIPTION:
A POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP is available immediately to study the molecular and cellular mechanisms of HTLV-1
driven
adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). Being the only human cancer caused by a retrovirus, ATLL is a fatal
disease
with no effective therapy. ATLL is distinguished from other types of T cell lymphomas in its unique genetic
and
phenotypic characteristics as well as clinical behavior. Evidence is also accumulating that ATLL diagnosed
in
North
America and Japan may differ in their mutation patterns and anti-HTLV-1 host immune response. We use patient
samples
as well as cell line and PDX models to investigate the roles played by epigenetic dysregulation, altered
crosstalk
of cell signaling pathways, elevated replication stress in ATLL development and targeted therapies. We have
also
begun to examine how host immunity is impacted during ATLL development. More information about our work can
be
found
at: https://www.einsteinmed.edu/faculty/7901/b-hilda-ye/
Recent PhD or MD graduates with significant research experience are preferred. Proficiency in molecular
biology
techniques including the manipulation and analysis of gene expression in cultured and primary cells is
required.
Some knowledge of immunology would be desirable, so are computational skills. First authored publication(s)
in
peer-reviewed, English language journals are necessary. Ability to work independently, motivation to make
new
discoveries and a strong work ethic are important. A curriculum vitae with a description of research
experiences
and
contact information for three references should be sent to hilda.ye@einsteinmed.edu . Please make the email subject
"Postdoctoral Application - Your name."
The Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Einstein) is one of the nation’s premier institutions for basic
research
and clinical investigation with more than 300 research laboratories funded by more than $220 million from
the
National Institutes of Health. There are ~200 PhD students and ~250 postdoctoral fellows at Einstein https://www.einsteinmed.edu/about/
Albert Einstein College of Medicine is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Title: Postdoctoral Position: Mammalian Epigenomics,
Chromatin
Structure and Function, Cancer.
JOB DESCRIPTION:
A postdoctoral position is available at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the laboratory of Dr.
Art
Skoultchi, Professor and Chair of Cell Biology.
The goal is to understand the roles of H1 linker histones in chromatin structure and function, gene
regulation
and
cancer. We have prepared a unique series of knock-out mice and ES cell lines lacking specific H1 histones.
Our
studies have revealed roles for H1 histones in gene regulation, the epigenetic landscape, nuclear
organization
and
blood cancers:

Yusufova et al. Nature 589:299 (2021)
Healton et al. PNAS 117:14251 (2020)
Seeking an accomplished applicant with a strong background in cell and molecular biology. Experience working
with
embryonic stem cells and mice is a plus. However, in the selection of candidates we will emphasize overall
scientific abilities and potential rather than specific experience or technical expertise. Candidates must
have
a
Ph.D. degree or equivalent and possess strong independent research abilities with ambitious scientific
interests,
self-motivation and the ability to work effectively with a team.
Successful candidates will be offered generous salary and benefits, including College-subsidized
postdoctoral
housing in a pleasant residential neighborhood near the medical school. To apply, please send a CV with a
brief
description of research experience and career goals, plus contact information for three references
