A postdoctoral position is available in the Truman Laboratory at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to investigate the fundamental mechanisms of the "chaperone code," which describes how post-translational modifications regulate molecular chaperones and cellular proteostasis. The successful candidate will employ a combination of molecular biology, biochemistry, proteomics, genetics, and cell biology approaches to define how chaperone modifications control protein folding, stress responses, signaling pathways, and disease-associated processes. Research projects span yeast and mammalian model systems and integrate cutting-edge proteomic and interactome-mapping technologies.
Candidates should possess a Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, or a related field. Experience in protein biochemistry, proteomics, cell signaling, or molecular genetics is desirable. The position offers opportunities for career development, collaboration, and publication in a highly productive research environment.
Required qualifications: At least one first author paper in a Q1 journal
Preferred qualifications: Previous experience working with molecular chaperones, phosphorylation in yeast and/or mammalian cells.
