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. Additional opportunities include exploring the approaches to target these proteins in early drug discovery efforts. The lab uses a wide range of approaches, including molecular biology, biochemical and cell based high-throughput assays and protein biochemistry.
Qualifications: The successful applicant will have a Ph.D. in molecular pharmacology 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 two or more of the following areas: molecular pharmacology, biochemistry, molecular biology, cellular signaling and high-throughput screening. 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.
