Postdoctoral Position to study the role of the ubiquitin system in aging
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. 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 from pharm.stonybrook.edu).
