[Pombelist] Postdoctoral Position in New York

[Markus Seeliger]

Postdoctoral Position to study the role of the ubiquitin system in ageing

A postdoctoral position is available in our group to indentify
substrates of ubiquitin ligases in the process of ageing
(HS-R-6454-10-08-S). The long-term goal of this project is to enable
pharmacological intervention in the ubiquitin system. This project is
funded by the Ellison Medical Foundation for 4 years and it aims to
design specific ubiquitin tags through in vitro and yeast screens. We
will characterize the function of engineered proteins through
biophysical methods (X-ray crystallography, NMR, ITC, etc.) and in
vivo. Our research group is located at Stony Brook University in a
highly interactive environment with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and
Brookhaven National Laboratory. The location of Stony Brook University
within public transport commuting distance to New York City and the
north shore of Long Island provides a convenient work-life balance and
a family friendly environment. Interested candidates with a strong
background in yeast genetics or in the biochemistry of the ubiquitin
system should email their CV and the names of two references to Markus
Seeliger (markus.seeliger at gmail.com).
