=='''Postdoc Opening - Autophagy of lipid droplets in YEAST (posted 29 August 2017)'''==<br />
<br />
'''Postdoctoral project:''' Autophagy of lipid droplets in YEAST<br />
<br />
::'''Academic institution:''' University of California, San Diego<br />
::<br />
::'''Academic division:''' Division of Biological Sciences<br />
::<br />
::'''Academic unit:''' Section of Molecular Biology<br />
<br />
'''Description:''' Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the group of Taras Nazarko studying mechanisms of lipophagy, the selective autophagy of lipid droplets (LDs). Lipophagy is accomplished by delivery of LDs from the cytosol to the lysosome (or vacuole in yeast). As in other autophagic pathways, the core autophagic machinery forms the autophagic isolation membrane that sequesters the LD from the cytosol. However, how this autophagic membrane recognizes the LD after lipophagy induction is unknown. Also, it is not clear how lipophagy is kept in check the rest of the time. Therefore, lipophagy selectivity and regulation are the key gaps in our understanding of this pathway. A postdoctoral scholar will develop a project in one of these areas. Mechanistic understanding in these areas is critical for the precise control of lipophagy in humans for the prevention and treatment of various lipid accumulation diseases, like atherosclerosis and obesity. Initial appointment is for 1 year with possible extension for up to 5 years of overall postdoctoral training. Salary is commensurate with experience (http://postdoc.ucsd.edu/appointment-guidelines/).<br />
<br />
'''Applicant requirements:''' The successful applicants will have a recent PhD in biochemistry, genetics, molecular or cell biology and a strong background in YEAST genetics, protein biochemistry and fluorescence microscopy. Expertise with mammalian cells or zebrafish model is a plus but not essential. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in autophagy pathway or with LDs.<br />

::<br />
::'''Academic unit:''' Section of Molecular Biology<br />
<br />
'''Description:''' Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the group of Taras Nazarko studying mechanisms of lipophagy, the selective autophagy of lipid droplets (LDs). Lipophagy is accomplished by delivery of LDs from the cytosol to the lysosome (or vacuole in yeast). As in other autophagic pathways, the core autophagic machinery forms the autophagic isolation membrane that sequesters the LD from the cytosol. However, how this autophagic membrane recognizes the LD after lipophagy induction is unknown. Also, it is not clear how lipophagy is kept in check the rest of the time. Therefore, lipophagy selectivity and regulation are the key gaps in our understanding of this pathway. A postdoctoral scholar will develop a project in one of these areas. Mechanistic understanding in these areas is critical for the precise control of lipophagy in humans for the prevention and treatment of various lipid accumulation diseases, like atherosclerosis and obesity. Initial appointment is for 1 year with possible extension for up to 5 years of overall postdoctoral training. Salary is commensurate with experience (http://postdoc.ucsd.edu/appointment-guidelines/).<br />

=Epigenetic Postdoctoral Fellow Posting=<br />
<br />
'''Postdoctoral positions''' are available at Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center. My laboratory is focused on understanding the impact that both methylation and acetylation dynamics has in both human cell culture and C. elegans. In particular, the laboratory is investigating the impact that the histone 3 lysine 9/36 tri-demethylases [JMJD2A-D; Whetstine et al., (2007) Cell 125: 467-81] have on tumorigenesis, transcriptional regulation, and genomic integrity. The laboratory will interrogate the role of these enzymes by using genomic, proteomic, cytological and genetic approaches. Similar approaches allowed an important link to be established for histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC-1) and the regulation of extra-cellular matrix biology in both human and C. elegans, which has direct implications in cancer chemotherapy [Whetstine et al., (2005) Mol. Cell 18:483-90]. The laboratory will continue to investigate the functional overlap or unique pathways that the C. elegans class I histone deacetylases regulate by using the same type of approaches. Overall, the laboratory will integrate a number of approaches and systems to determine the important biological pathways regulated by histone demethylases and histone deacetylases.<br />
<br />
The laboratory is looking for highly motivated, tenacious scientists that are enthusiastic, team players and love science. The laboratory is looking for researchers with documented proficiency in any of the following areas (basic molecular biology, protein biochemistry, genomics, epigenetics, C. elegans, cytology, development biology, DNA damage and repair) but interested in learning new approaches or systems to answer the exciting questions before us. <br />

'''Regulatory circuits controlling sugar flux in yeast grown on ethanol'''<br />
<br />
HT screen of the yeast knock out collection using FRET sensors for glucose, sucrose and maltose, follow-up analysis of hits and reconstruction of networks<br />
<br />
Our lab has developed a wide range of FRET sensors for metabolites. These sensors have so far been used mainly in mammalian cells to study glutamate release from neurons, glucose transport across the ER membrane or tryptophan/kynurenine exchange. <br />
<br />
We have now been able to functionally express the FRET sensors also in the cytoplasm of yeast and to establish a high throughput screening platform. Our goal is to identify novel regulatory pathways involved in the control of glucose flux in yeast. As a first step, the kinase k.o. collection has been screened for altered glucose flux and several hits have been identified and verified.<br />
<br />
Next steps will be to verify the hits using a new microfluidic platform, to test the effect on other sugar fluxes using FRET sensors for sucrose, maltose and ribose and to place the kinases into signaling networks. The screen can be expanded to include the whole genome at a later stage. Focus points are regulatory effects on glucose transporters and hexokinases. Due to the advanced stage, it is expected that the work will lead to high profile publications within less than a year.<br />
