The Sjogren Lab welcomes enthusiastic graduate students!
Interested students should contact Dr. J. Benita Sjogren at jsjogren@purdue.edu
Postdoctoral position available!
Molecular Mechanisms of RGS Protein Regulation
A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at Purdue University for a dynamic, highly motivated postdoctoral research associate in the lab of Dr. Benita Sjogren. This is a position in a recently established lab using a multidisciplinary approach to study aspects of Regulator of G Protein Signaling (RGS) protein biology.
Responsibilities: Areas of research will include: i) Studies of how RGS protein levels are regulated and ii) their role in pathophysiology with special emphasis on the CNS. The lab uses a wide range of approaches, including molecular biology, biochemical and cell based high-throughput assays and protein biochemistry. The specific project for the current position is to elucidate structure-function of how RGS2 gets targeted to its E3 ligase for protein degradation. It involves protein purification and biochemical analysis as well as structural biology and molecular biology methods.
Qualifications: The successful applicant will have a Ph.D. in molecular pharmacology, biochemistry or related field and a record of outstanding scholarly achievement as evidenced by publications in high impact, peer-reviewed journals and presentation of research at national/international meetings. Strong communication (written and oral) skills is essential. Top candidates should have expertise in protein biochemistry and expertise in molecular biology, cellular signaling and/or high-throughput screening methods is preferred. Experience in G protein/GPCR and/or proteasomal degradation research is preferred.
Salary: Commensurate with experience, plus competitive benefits package. For more information see: http://www.purdue.edu/hr/Benefits/
Term/Availability: Two-years with option for continuation. Appointment is renewed on an annual basis.
How to apply:
Please submit a statement of interest and curriculum vitae including name and contact details for three referees to: Dr. Benita Sjogren at jsjogren@purdue.edu. The search will commence immediately and continue until a suitable candidate is identified.
