美国北卡罗莱纳大学夏洛特分校两个博士后研究职位

Two Postdoctoral Research Positions Available Immediately in the Truman Laboratory at University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA

The Truman laboratory in the Department of Biological Sciences at UNC Charlotte, USA employs a range of molecular technologies including mass spectrometry, CRISPR-genome engineering and high-throughput screening to study the interplay between the molecular chaperone Hsp70 and cell signaling (please see http://www.trumanlab.org). We are seeking two highly motivated postdoctoral researchers, one with a strong background in DNA damage response signaling in mammalian cells and the other with either expertise in any of the following: cell cycle, DNA damage response, autophagy or MAPK signaling expertise in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast).

NIH Funding is available for 4 years, with the expectation that the candidate will work with Dr. Truman to apply for fellowships during this time. Ideal candidates will have graduated less than 1 year from their start date in the Truman lab.

Required qualifications

For the mammalian DNA damage response project:

•Ph. D in biochemistry, molecular biology, cancer biology or related field.

•Experience with general molecular techniques such as Western Blotting, DNA cloning, co-immunoprecipitation and technologies used to understand phosphorylation events in cells.

•Experience with mammalian cell culture including passaging of cells, transfection, protein expression and purification from mammalian cells. Experience with CRISPR is a bonus.

•Track record of experience with DNA damage response signaling in mammalian cells as evidenced by publications in peer-reviewed journals.

For the yeast chaperone/signal transduction project:

•Ph. D in biochemistry, molecular biology or related field.

•Experience with general molecular techniques such as Western Blotting, DNA cloning, co-immunoprecipitation and technologies used to understand phosphorylation events in cells.

•Must have experience with budding yeast including gene deletion, transformation, protein expression and purification from yeast.

•Track record of experience with cell cycle, DNA damage response, autophagy or MAP kinase signaling in yeast cells as evidenced by publications in peer-reviewed journals.
