=='''Yeast Systems Biology Position at Virginia Tech (Research Associate or Sr Research Associate)'''==
+
The deadline for receipt of applications is '''December 15, 2022'''.
−
The Synthetic Biology group at Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) is involved in two collaborative research projects focused on the development of mathematical models of gene-protein regulatory networks controlling cell growth and division. Temporal organization of the budding yeast cell cycle has been studied from two vantage points: bottom-up models emphasize a protein regulatory network centered around cyclin-dependent protein kinases, whereas top-down models focus on a gene regulatory network governed by interrelated transcription factors. The first project is focused on unifying these two perspectives. The second project is focused on the development of stochastic models of the regulatory network controlling the cell cycle. Both projects are performed in close collaboration with experts in computer science, data mining, bioinformatics, and mathematical modeling. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute significantly to these two projects by being responsible for designing and performing experiments used to validate model predictions. These experiments will involve the development of a new collection of cell cycle mutants and their quantitative characterization by time-lapse microscopy. In addition, the successful candidate will be expected to prepare the results for publication and presentation, to help supervise graduate and undergraduate students, and to contribute to grant proposals.

The position available is to elucidate the functions and mechanisms of the E3 ligase LISTERIN. We had previously reported on a new mouse model of neurodegeneration caused by mutation of Listerin/Ltn1, a novel E3 (Chu et al. 2009). Homozygous mutant mice exhibit profound early-onset and progressive neurological and motor dysfunction. The focus of our most recent work has been on elucidating this E3’s critical biological role(s) and determining how defects in its function lead to the disease. Listerin/Ltn1 is conserved in all eukaryotes, so we have taken advantage of budding yeast and found that the E3 is ribosome-associated and functions in the quality control of a specific subset of aberrant, nascent proteins (Bengtson & Joazeiro 2010). Currently, we undertake biochemistry, yeast genetics, mammalian tissue culture and genomic approaches to continue our characterization of Listerin/Ltn1, and are positioned to readily test the relevance of the discoveries we make for neurodegeneration using the mouse model. There are opportunities for studies along any of the above research lines, depending on the background and interests of the applicant.
