The creation of the Redox Biology Center has created additional
need for highly motivated individuals to contribute to current
research projects. Employment opportunities are available
at numerous levels.
The University of Nebraska ranks 5th in a survey of postdoctoral
fellows.
Postdoctoral Position - Dr. Donald Becker
A postdoctoral position
is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Becker to
study the role of proline metabolism in oxidative stress protection
and cancer using various cancer cell lines and mouse models.
Research will involve exploring proline metabolic cell signaling
and the role of proline metabolism in tumor formation. Candidates
should have a Ph.D. degree in biological sciences and experience
in molecular biology, cell biology, mouse work, and biochemical
methods. Background in gene expression analysis, proteomics,
cancer biology and/or cell signaling is also desired. Send
a cover letter summarizing research accomplishments, research
interests and career goals, a CV and names of three references
to: Dr. Donald F. Becker, Department of Biochemistry, University
of Nebraska-Lincoln, N258 Beadle Center, Lincoln, NE 68588
or via email: dbecker3@unl.edu. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln
is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer committed
to excellence through diversity.
Postdoctoral Position - Dr. Jay Reddy
Postdoctoral Research Associate position is available immediately for a highly
motivated individual interested in cellular and molecular mechanisms of immune
system activation and autoimmunity. Qualifications: Strong background in molecular
biology, immunology, biochemistry and the ability to work independently and
cooperatively with other members in the laboratory. Candidates with experience
in redox dependent regulation of gene expression, cell signaling and proteomics
and immunomodulatory effects of reactive oxygen species and their inhibitors
are strongly encouraged to apply. Immunological analysis of rodent models is
desired. PhD or MD/DVM, or equivalent required. Salary: competitive and commensurate
with experience. Review of applications will begin immediately, and will continue
until the position is filled or closed. Send application letter, statement
of interest and relevant work experience, CV and 3 references by mail or e-mail
to: Jay Reddy, MVSc, PhD, Associate Professor, Dept. of Veterinary & Biomedical
Sciences, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 202 VBS, Lincoln, NE 68583-0905;
e-mail: nreddy2@unl.edu. University
of Nebraska-Lincoln is committed to a pluralistic campus community through
Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity; and assures reasonable accommodation
under the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Postdoctoral Position - Dr. Joe Barycki
An NIH-supported postdoctoral position is available immediately
in the area of redox biology/biochemistry. An experienced
and motivated person is sought to perform structural and
biochemical research on enzymes involved in glutathione metabolism. State
of the art X-ray diffraction equipment has recently been
installed, and additional research opportunities are available,
including collaborative projects with members of the recently
established Redox Biology Center. Applicants should
have experience in molecular biology, biochemistry, or protein
chemistry; previous experience in X-ray crystallography,
although helpful, is not required. Salary will be commensurate
with qualifications and experience. Please submit curriculum
vitae, including a summary of research experience and contact
information of three references to jbarycki2@unl.edu
Postdoctoral Position, Redox Biology Center & Department
of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences - Dr. Rodrigo
Franco
The Redox Biology
Center (RBC) at UNL has a postdoctoral position available in
the laboratory of Dr. Rodrigo Franco starting January 2010.
We are seeking a PhD with a high degree of motivation, and
strong background in molecular/cellular biology to conduct
basic research on the molecular mechanism of apoptosis in neurodegenerative
diseases. The position involves working with primary cell cultures/animal
models of neurodegeneration. The research project is particularly
focused in studying how alterations in thiol homeostasis regulate
the activation of the cell death machinery during the pathogenesis
of Neurodegenerative Diseases. The position requires excellent
communications skills necessary for scientific presentations
and publications and the ability to work independently and
cooperatively with members of the laboratory. Experience in
redox biochemistry, apoptosis, proteomics and/or animal models
of neurodegeneration is highly desired. The applicants must
have demonstrated productivity in the field (research publications).
Applicants should send a letter of application summarizing
research accomplishments, interests and goals, Curriculum Vitae
and names of three references by e-mail to rfrancocruz2@unl.edu.
Salary will be competitive and commensurate with experience.
Review of applications will begin immediately, and will continue
until the position is filled or closed. The Redox Biology Center
offers an outstanding scientific environment including shared-core
facilities equipped with state-of-art instrumentation (Confocal
Microscopy, Proteomics/Metabolomics, Flow Cytometry) and an
international reputation for research excellence. University
of Nebraska-Lincoln is committed to a pluralistic campus community
through Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity; and assures reasonable
accommodation under the Americans With Disabilities Act. |
