    Post-Doctoral Fellow - Aurora, United States - University of Colorado

    Default job background
    Description
    University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus


    Department:
    Biochemistry & Molecular Genetics


    Job Title:
    Post-Doctoral Fellow


    Position:
    # Requisition: #32520


    Job Summary:
    The laboratory of Dr. Ning Zhao ) is located in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the University of Colorado-Anschutz Medical Campus in Denver, Colorado. The lab aims to understand how aging and disease-related proteins are regulated in their native intracellular environments.

    Currently, the lab focuses on studying the translation and folding mechanisms of transmembrane proteins on the endoplasmic reticulum, such as ion channel proteins and cell receptors.

    We apply diverse approaches in the study, including state-of-art single-molecule tracking as well as traditional biochemistry and biophysics approaches, such as ELISA, western blots, immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation, circular dichroism, ITC, and DSC.

    The lab is successful in acquiring external funding and currently is funded by startup funding, NIH K99/R00, and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

    The candidate for this position is expected to have extensive experience in designing and engineering proteins. Successful research experience in antibody engineering (scFvs or nanobodies) is a plus.


    Examples of Duties:

    • Developing live cell imaging tools for studying protein translation and folding
    • Designing and performing experiments
    • Analyzing data
    • Writing and publishing papers
    • Assisting in grant applications
    • Mentoring junior scientists in the lab


    This description is a summary only and describes the general level of work being performed, it is not intended to be all-inclusive.

    The duties of this position may change from time to time and/or based on business need.

    We reserve the right to add or delete duties and responsibilities at the discretion of the supervisor and/or hiring authority.


    Work Location:
    Onsite - this role is expected to work onsite and will be located in Aurora, Colorado.


    Why Join Us:
    Our department conducts research across a wide biological scale for fundamental scientific understanding with applications to many disease contexts. The overarching goal is to reach a level of molecular insight that helps develop therapeutic approaches to disease.


    As biochemists and molecular geneticists, we are amid an unprecedented time of discovery - our conception of the molecular biology of cells is going from the equivalent of grainy black-and-white to high-resolution technicolor.

    From deciphering the choreography of transcription complexes, chromosomes, and RNA molecules within cells to developing novel approaches to 3D molecular structure determination to understanding how viruses hijack a cell's machinery and alter its metabolome, the researchers in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics (BMG) are at the forefronts of their fields both conceptually and technologically.


    The University of Colorado offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes health insurance, life insurance, retirement plans, tuition benefits, ECO pass, paid time off - vacation, sick, holidays and more.
