POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW
Identification and mechanisms of lipid scramblases
Mechanism of protein N-glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum
MENON LAB, WEILL CORNELL MEDICAL COLLEGE (NEW YORK CITY)

JOB SUMMARY. We are looking for motivated individuals who are interested in joining our
research team as postdoctoral fellows to study the molecular basis of lipid transport within cells
and specifically in the pathway of protein glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum. This is a
full-time position, for at least 2-3 years, with a minimum annual salary (for a recent PhD) of USD
60,000, and an excellent benefits package.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS. A doctoral degree (PhD, MD, or MD/PhD) in biochemistry, cell
biology, biophysics, or related field. Experience in yeast genetics/biochemistry/cell biology is
preferred, but individuals with general experience in biochemistry and related fields will also be
considered.

OVERVIEW. The Menon Lab studies how lipids are trafficked inside cells. Our goal is to identify
the machinery needed for lipid transport and understand how it works. The lab currently focuses
on lipid flip-flop, the process by which lipids move from one side of a membrane bilayer to the
other side. This is important in many physiological processes such as apoptosis, blood clotting,
protein glycosylation and growth of biological membranes. We use fluorescence-based and
other assays to characterize how certain proteins (such as G protein-coupled receptors) flip-flop
lipids and chemical biology tools to discover transporters that have eluded molecular
identification. Our experiments are done in vitro, using synthetic components (e.g., purified
proteins reconstituted into vesicles), or in mammalian or yeast cells in culture (e.g., genetics
approaches, fluorescence microscopy, quantitative mass spectrometry). For more information
on the Menon lab and recent publications, please visit https://www.menonlab.org/

ENVIRONMENT. Weill Cornell Medical College is part of a Tri-Institutional nexus that includes The
Rockefeller University and Sloan Kettering Institute. The three institutions are across the street
from each other in Manhattan on the upper east side of New York City, creating an invigorating
environment for biomedical research.
