Exciting Opportunity at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center: Join the Melinda Diver Lab as a Research Technician!
The Diver lab explores how ion flux and metabolite transport across membranes maintain nutrient homeostasis and shape cellular signaling, physiology, and disease. We uncover novel transport mechanisms, define how transport is regulated, and identify the roles and substrates of orphan transporters. Our goal is to pinpoint disease mechanisms and novel drug targets for neurodegeneration and cancer. In the lab, you will combine structural, biochemical, biophysical, and cellular approaches to reveal how channels and transporters work, paving the way for new therapies.
This position offers hands-on training in cutting-edge techniques, mentorship from leading scientists, and an excellent foundation for graduate school, all within the Sloan Kettering Institute's world-class research environment.
