Postdoctoral and technician positions – University of Rochester (posted 18 July 2019)

Description: A postdoctoral position and a technician position are available immediately in the Elena Rustchenko laboratory in University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, which studies the evolution of echinocandin drug resistance. Studies will focus on mechanisms that are responsible for the increased tolerance to echinocandin drugs subsequently leading to true resistance in Candida albicans.

Position Overview:Applicants should have a Ph.D. in an area related to molecular and cell biology, biochemistry or microbiology. Experience with C. albicans is preferred. We will also employ an experienced technician.

How to apply: Please, send a cover letter, a concise summary of previous research activities, a complete CV and contact information for referees to Elena Rustchenko, elena_bulgac@urmc.rochester.edu.

PhD and post-doctoral research positions - Prof. Martin Kupiec's lab at Tel Aviv University (posted 17 July 2019)

Description: We work with yeast (S. cerevisiae and S. pombe) exploring the role of Elg1 and other proteins in genome stability maintenance and telomere biology. Additional projects include exploring the interphase between DNA replication, chromatin modifications, sister-chromatid cohesion and DNA repair.

Position Overview: We are seeking highly motivated candidates with expertise in molecular biology and genetics. Experience in yeast genetics is desirable, but not a requirement. Independence, communication and interpersonal skills are valued in order to work in a young, dynamic, diverse, and collaborative environment. We are an international team, and research is carried out in English.

How to apply: Prospective candidates should submit a cover letter describing their research experience, scientific interest, career goals, and motivation to apply for this position. Please include an updated CV and the contact information of at least two references. Questions should be directed to Prof. Martin Kupiec at martin@tauex.tau.ac.il.

Bioassays Intern - Hexagon Bio (posted 15 May 2019)

Description: Hexagon Bio is creating a reliable way to identify and rapidly develop small molecules that have evolved in nature. We are a team of 23 scientists and engineers based in Menlo Park, California.

Position Overview: As an intern on the bioassays team at Hexagon Bio, you will be responsible for running cell-based growth assays, establishing new screening assays and executing protocols in accordance with internal standard operating procedures. You will gather data, interpret and present results and collaborate with the team.

Postdoctoral Fellow - Garcia Lab at the University of Oregon (posted 26 April 2019)

Department Description: The Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) is a research institute that has 18 labs and approximately 150 employees, including 45 graduate students who train in our labs. We have an administrative structure, which includes accounting, purchasing, personnel, PI support, building management, and three service centers, including genomics and cell characterization, and imaging.

Position Overview: The Postdoctoral Fellow will carry out studies of eukaryotic epigenetic regulation using mostly genetic, biochemical, and cell biological techniques in yeast and/or mammalian cells. The purpose is to make high-impact discoveries in the field of epigenetics. In particular, work will involve study of prion proteins (non-toxic) and their impact on RNA regulation, as well as how stress affects epigenetic mechanisms in cells. More info is available at garcialab.org.

How to apply: Please email Dr. Garcia. Include your CV (which includes three professional references) and a brief statement about your research interests (1/2 to 1 page).

Research Assistant/Lab Manager- Garcia Lab at the University of Oregon (posted 25 April 2019)

Department Description: The Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) is a research institute that reports to the Vice President for Research and Innovation. We have 18 labs and approximately 150 employees, including 45 graduate students who train in our labs. We have an administrative structure, which includes accounting, purchasing, personnel, PI support, building management, and three service centers.

Position Overview: This Research Assistant position will involve a mix of laboratory maintenance duties as well as studies of eukaryotic epigenetic regulation using mostly genetic, biochemical, and cell biological techniques. The purpose of this position is to support the efforts of the Garcia lab as well as independently (under the direction of Dr. Garcia) make high-impact discoveries in the field of epigenetics. In particular, work will involve study of prion proteins (non-toxic) and their impact on RNA regulation, as well as how stress affects epigenetic mechanisms in cells.

The essential responsibilities will be to help maintain the functions of the Garcia lab while also designing and conducting experiments, interpreting data, and training other researchers in the laboratory and maintaining laboratory equipment.
