Some Openings at Industry

Positions at Integral Molecular:

Integral Molecular is a platform-based biotechnology company, originally spun out of the University of Pennsylvania. Integral Molecular provides innovative solutions for scientific research and drug discovery applications involving integral membrane proteins, such as GPCRs and ion channels. Integral Molecular has full-time positions open immediately for qualified Ph.D.-level scientists. In addition to helping commercialize Integral's products, you will be involved in projects that are expected to result in a number of research publications.

Interested applicants should email their resume in Word format to careers@integralmolecular.com with the specific 'Job ID#' in the Subject line.

Job #100115, Cell Biologist: This Ph.D.-level position involves signal transduction research downstream of cell surface receptor activation in cells. The candidate will have a background in signal transduction and extensive experience working with cells and cellular functions, preferably involving GPCRs. Experience with DNA transfection, immunofluorescence, and fluorescence-based cellular assays is desired. Knowledge of protein structure-function analysis and protein structure visualization is a plus. The candidate should have excellent organization skills and work well in a team setting. A Ph.D. with 0-2 years experience or post-doc experience is required.

Job #100116, Biochemist: This Ph.D.-level position involves assay development assessing the function of enzymatic proteins interacting with their partner molecules. The candidate will have experience with protein enzymology or signal transduction and will have relevant experience in protein expression, protein folding, and the assessment of protein activity. Experience with GPCRs, ion channels, or membrane biochemistry is a plus. The candidate should be highly inquisitive, have excellent attention to detail, and demonstrated ability to address challenging scientific questions. A Ph.D. with 0-2 years experience or post-doc experience is required.
