Redox Biology Center

employment: Postdoctoral

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. 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 - Dr. Vadim Gladyshev
NIH-supported postdoctoral position is available immediately in the area of redox biology/biochemistry/bioinformatics.  Possible projects include mechanisms of redox regulation, functional characterization of selenium-containing proteins, bioinformatics and functional genomics of thiol-dependent redox proteins and processes, and animal and cellular cancer and aging models (see Science (2003) 300, 1439-43; Mol Cell Biol. (2002) 22, 3565; PNAS (2002) 99, 4245; EMBO J. (2002) 21, 3681; Mol Cell Biol. (2002) 22, 1402.)  These projects are closely linked to our interests in mechanisms of cancer prevention and aging.
