About the position

The Rockefeller University is dedicated to advancing our understanding of cellular organization, particularly focusing on the mechanisms that control the compartmentalization of cellular components. Our research delves into the principles governing how macromolecules traverse membranes or integrate into them, as well as the physiological and pathological consequences of improper compartmentalization. We are also committed to developing innovative technologies to study cellular function. In this entry-level position, you will be involved in a project that addresses a commonly lethal cancer affecting adolescents and young adults, with a specific focus on developing therapeutics for this condition. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research in a supportive and collaborative environment.
