SUJET :
www.wadsworth.org/educate/translational_regulation.htm

The Ty1 retrotransposon is a model system for identifying conserved host:viral interactions involved in retrovirus and retrotransposon replication. We are characterizing cis-acting sequences and RNA: protein interactions that partition the trifunctional Ty1 mRNA between translation, packaging and reverse transcription. Ty1 mRNA is highly structured and regulatory sequences that govern its translation and localization overlap coding sequences. Using genome-wide screens, our lab has identified multiple host proteins required for the specialized translation of Ty1 RNA. The successful applicant will use in vivo and in vitro assays, ribosomal profiling, RNP purification and FISH/fluorescent microscopy to investigate the specialized translation and specific localization of Ty1 RNA.

CONTEXTE :
The lab is in a modern interdisciplinary research building, the Center for Medical Sciences, within the Wadsworth Center, and is affiliated with the Hudson Valley RNA Club (hudsonvalleyrnaclub.org) and the University at Albany RNA Institute (www.albany.edu/rna). The Wadsworth Center Postdoc Association provides an array of career development opportunities. Albany is culturally diverse, affordable and close to cultural and recreational facilities and major metropolitan areas (New York, Boston and Montreal).

Profil du candidat :

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology or a related field and publications in peer-reviewed journals. Experience with in vitro and in vivo RNA structural and functional analyses, high throughput sequencing, fluorescent microscopy and/or yeast genetics is desirable.

A competitive, federally funded position (though Health Research, Inc.) is available for 18 months, and the position is renewable.

CONTACT :

Applicants should send a CV, statement of research interests and career goals and 3 letters of reference to Joan Curcio curcio@wadsworth.org by August 1, 2012.
