Self-splicing introns and inteins: Structure, Function, Evolution,
Application
Postdoctoral positions are available in the Marlene Belfort lab to study
both self-splicing introns and inteins. The group investigates both the
dynamics of retrotransposon-like group II introns and their evolutionary
relationship to spliceosomal
introns, and the structure, function, evolution and application of the
protein-splicing inteins.
The successful applicants will use genetic, biochemical, structural and high
-throughput
genomic techniques in bacteria and yeast. We will build on our discoveries [
Coros et al. Mol Cell (2009) 34, 250-256; Chalamcharla, et al. Genes Dev. (
2010) 24, 827-836; Callahan et al,Nature Struc. and Mol Biol. (2011) 18, 630
-633] to explore the lifestyle, host inter-dependence and evolution of these
self-splicing, RNA and protein elements.
Candidates should have a Ph.D in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry or related
fields, and
publications in peer-reviewed journals. Experience with bacterial and yeast
genetics,
structure and computation are preferred, but not essential.
The laboratory is in an interdisciplinary Life Sciences Research Building
and is affiliated with the RNA Institute. UAlbany is located in Albany, NY,
which has a vibrant scientific and cultural community, situated a few hours
by car or train from New York City, Boston and Montreal. Surrounded by
rivers, lakes and mountains, Albany is an ideal location for outdoor
activities year round.
To apply, submit a CV, a statement of research interests and career goals,
and the names of 3 references to Rebecca McCarthy .
These are NIH-funded
positions administered by the Research Foundation. an Affirmative Action/
Equal Opportunity Employer. |
