Postdoctoral Training
Differential Profiling of Ubiquitinome via Proteomics (212)
A postdoctoral position is available immediately to investigate dynamics of ubiquitinome and ubiquitin-like proteomes using modern proteomics technologies. A successful candidate will use a combination of advanced separation techniques such as 2D Gel Electrophoresis (2D-GE) and 2D chromatography in conjunction with advanced mass spectrometry techniques developed in our lab to define and study the dynamics of ubiquitinome. A candidate should be proficient in 2D-GE, chromatography and immunopurification methods. A PhD and solid background in molecular biology is required. Candidates with strong quantitative skills and separation science backgrounds are most highly desired. Previous experience with mass spectrometry is not required but can be a plus. A candidate must be strong in communication and analytical skills, focused and motivated to succeed, and able to work as a team as well as independently. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience (based on UT Southwestern scale). The position will be initially available for one year, with the renewal (up to 4-5 years) based on the performance and funding availability. The successful candidate will be encouraged to apply for independent fellowships to gain independent programs for his/her future career path.
