Required Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a related discipline.
- Strong background in immune signaling, biochemical and molecular biology techniques, protein sample preparation, immunoprecipitation, co-immunoprecipitation, stable cell cultures, primary immune cell cultures, and gene editing are required.
- Additional experience in LC–MS/MS, proteomics and bioinformatics will be given strong preference.
- Excellent communication, teamwork, and organizational skills.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
- Conduct research in crosslinking proteomics and covalent labeling to study protein interactions and post-translational modifications.
- Perform biochemical and cell-based experiments to investigate and quantify immune signaling pathways of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and Nod-like receptors (NLRs).
- Analyze proteomics data and contribute to manuscript preparation and presentations.
- Collaborate within a multidisciplinary research team and mentor graduate and undergraduate students.
