=='''PhD and post-doctoral positions at the Martin Kupiec lab at Tel Aviv University, Israel (posted 26 July 2023)'''==
−
Positions are available for post-docs to work on a recently NIH funded grant “High throughput S. cerevisiae HAM, GWA & QT/QTL architecture resource”. Our understanding of quantitative traits, which includes pharmacogenetic variations in human drug efficacy and side effects, is poor.  Improving our understanding of quantitative traits and of pharmacogenetics is aided by tractable model systems, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae.  In this study, we develop a novel S. cerevisiae genetic resource population for high throughput haploid association mapping (HAM) and genome wide association (GWA).

−
We will use the high quality genome sequences of 96 S. cerevisiae strains to generate a novel genetic resource population that we will use to perform high throughput determination of quantitative trait (QT) and quantitative trait loci (QTL) architecture. Start dates are open.  Candidates should have recently received their Ph.D. (0 to – at most – 4 years) and should have expertise in yeast genetics/molecular biology and/or quantitative/population genetics.  Candidates should email their curriculum vitae (pdf), including the names and contact information for three references, to mccus001@mc.duke.edu.

The Kupiec lab is looking for highly motivated and independent researchers to join our group in exciting projects investigating the mechanisms that create mutations, and those that repair DNA and prevent genome instability. Previous experience working with yeast is considered an advantage, but not essential.

The assembly of iron-sulphur cofactors in respiratory complex I
 
  
−
Complex I deficiencies are the most common cause of respiratory chain dysfunction, but how this largest of the respiratory complexes is assembled, including its unique chain of eight iron-sulphur (Fe-S) clusters, is poorly understood. This project aims to investigate the assembly of complex I using the yeast <b><u>Yarrowia lipolytica</u></b> as a genetic model organism, and will focus on: 1) Further analysis of the molecular role of Ind1, a recently identified Fe-S scaffold protein important for complex I assembly in Yarrowia and human cell lines (Bych et al 2008; Sheftel et al, unpublished). 2) Development of Yarrowia yeast as a genetic model organism to perform forward genetics screens, complemented by a biochemical approach, to identify additional complex I assembly factors, in particular those that assist Ind1 with Fe-S cluster insertion. 3) Translation of the findings to human disease: identification of human orthologues and whether they are implicated in complex I disorders.
+
'''Ideal Qualifications''':
−
 
+
*Ph. D in biochemistry, molecular biology, cancer biology or related field.
−
This project involves collaborations with Dr Judy Hirst at the MRC Cambridge (in vitro cluster assembly in complex I subunits), Professor Ulrich Brandt, Frankfurt (complex I function and genetics in Yarrowia yeast) and Professor Jan Smeitink, Nijmegen (translation of the findings to human respiratory disease).
+
*Experience with budding yeast including gene deletion, transformation etc.
−
 
+
*Experience with general molecular techniques such as Western Blotting, DNA cloning, coimmunoprecipitation.

A postdoctoral position is available at the Biotech Center at Rutgers University in the laboratory of Dr. Nilgun E. Tumer to investigate the mechanisms of uptake, transport and cytotoxicity of ricin and Shiga-like toxins.  The Tumer lab works on elucidating the basic mechanisms of action of ricin and Shiga-like toxins using Saccharomyces cerevisae and C. elegans as model systems.  Both toxins depurinate the sarcin/ricin loop of the large rRNA and inhibit translation.  Our goal is to identify the targets of these toxins to understand the mechanism by which they kill cells and to develop therapeutic intervention strategies.  The successful candidate will use genetic, cell biology and chemical genomic approaches to investigate the mechanism of uptake and transport of the toxins in yeast and C. elegans and use chemical genomics approaches to identify the cellular pathways affected by these toxins.  The ideal candidate should have a Ph.D. in a related field, experience with yeast and/or C.elegans genetics and cell biology and familiarity with chemical biology approaches.  The Biotech Center is located in New Brunswick, New Jersey near New York City and Philadelphia and is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and instrumentation.  Rutgers University is an equal opportunity employer that strongly encourages underrepresented groups to apply for open positions.

=Epigenetic Postdoctoral Fellow Posting=
 
−
 
 
−
'''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.

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.
