Position available in Dept. of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the University of Connecticut Health Center , Farmington, United States
Position posted on Monday, June 08, 2009
The University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC) Translational Genomics Core (TGC) is an active provider of microarray services to University and external researchers: processing over 1,000 samples per year to perform gene-expression, genotyping, and other genomic analyses using the Illumina, Affymetrix, Agilent, and Nimblegen platforms. In addition, the TGC has an Illumina Genome Analyzer and provides next-generation sequencing technology to our users. We seek an exceptional candidate to participate in and direct the daily activities of this Core. Regular duties include providing assistance with the planning of experiments, participating in core-laboratory strategic planning, educational outreach, overseeing laboratory technicians, microarray and sequencing sample processing, and quality control.

Position available in Dept of Biochemistry of the Purdue University , West Lafayette, United States
Position posted on Monday, June 08, 2009
A postdoctoral position (3-5 years) is currently available after August 3, 2009 to study the role of DEAD-box proteins in nuclear mRNA export. Gene expression in eukaryotes requires the active transport of mRNAs transcribed in the nucleus to the site of translation in the cytoplasm. Although the factors involved in this process are known, the precise mechanism for mRNA export has not been defined. Recently, DEAD-box proteins have been shown to promote export through alteration of the mRNA:protein (mRNP) complex composition (Tran et al. Mol. Cell 2007), suggesting that this remodeling drives the export process.

Immediately available for at least a year is a postdoctoral research position in single molecule fluorescence microscopy and NMR spectroscopy of RNA in the group of Professor Nils G. Walter at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA. The project involves highly interdisciplinary, National Institutes of Health funded work targeted at real-time fluorescence imaging and advanced NMR spectrocopy of the hepatitis delta virus, or HDV ribozyme. Highly motivated and enthusiastic candidates are sought with experience in RNA biochemistry, fluorescence and/or other spectroscopies, and the enthusiasm to learn state-of-the-art biophysical techniques. Those with the appropriate background should review the group’s web page at: http://www.umich.edu/~rnapeopl and send their Curriculum Vitae and the names and addresses of three references to Dr. Nils G. Walter, Associate Professor of Chemistry, via email: nwalter[at]umich.edu. Please note that the University of Michigan is a top research university situated in one of the most livable cities in the US.

A postdoctoral position is available immediately for a scientist with experience in molecular and/or cancer biology. The Chandler lab is investigating the link between alternative splicing, the p53 pathway, and pediatric soft tissue sarcomas of the muscle called rhabdomyosarcomas. The appointee will investigate molecular mechanisms involved in the induction of alternative splicing of the p53 pathway. This will include investigating the links between DNA damage and RNA processing as well as p53 activity. A major focus of the laboratory is on p53 modulators MDM2 and MDMX. Cell culture, in vitro splicing and mouse models serve as systems in which to study the mechanism for alternative splicing as well as the biological endpoints of the pathways. The laboratory's approaches include integration of cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry.

We would like to recruit a Post-Doctoral Fellow or Research Associate to join our research program on RNA elements and RNA–protein interactions (and uninteractions) in translational control of inflammatory gene expression (see Jia, J. et al., Mol. Cell 29: 679-690, 2008; Ray, P.S. et al., Nature 457: 915-919, 2009). Studies range from the molecular level, through mammalian cells, to mice and humans. Qualifications include a Ph.D. or M.D., and demonstrated experience and creativity in studies of RNA biology/biochemistry as evidenced by excellent publications and strong recommendation letters. The position is open immediately. The Lerner Research Institute of the Cleveland Clinic offers a stimulating and collaborative scientific environment with competitive benefits.
