Job Description:
Posting Summary The Singson laboratory at the Waksman Institute
of Microbiology is seeking a postdoctoral associate to participate
in our studies of reproductive biology in the C. elegans model
system. Specifically, the candidate will contribute to our
fertilization synapse, sperm activation, and sperm mitochondria
dynamics projects. Experience with C. elegans genetics,
reproduction, cell biology are required. Further, experience with
protein-protein interaction methods like the split ubiquitin
yeast-two hybrid method and SIM microscopy training will be needed.
The individual will report directly to the laboratory Principle
Investigator (PI). The position requires being able to design and
carry out experiments with the C. elegans model system as well as
other experimental systems in the lab such as yeast two hybrid
protein-protein interaction methods. The candidate should be able
to work unsupervised day-to-day, but in consultation with the
primary investigator for long term goals of the research. The
candidate should also be able to professionally communicate and
justify experimental approaches and results in both oral and
written form. Any manuscripts for publication will be corresponded
by the candidate. The scope of work is primarily as a member of the
Singson lab research team. However, scientific interactions at the
Waksman Institute, Department of Genetics, and other relevant units
will be required as the research progresses. Preferred
Qualifications Skills and experience in forward and reverse
genetics as well as protein-protein interaction studies will be
important to support the ongoing research in the lab.
