Postdoc - PTM Research

Rutgers is seeking a highly self-motivated and collaborative postdoc to join the Tom Lin laboratory for post-translational modification (PTM) research. Opportunities: the successful candidate will have full access to the lab's proteomics instrument (Thermo Astral) and Facility instruments (TimsTOF, Thermo Eclipse, et al), and spacious cell culture and biochemistry labs. This job comes with strong support and ample opportunities to publish papers, apply for independent grants, attend conferences, and initiate collaborations. The postdoc is highly encouraged to develop their own IDP (individual development plan) for preparation and development for their future career. A Ph.D. or Doctorate degree in a relevant research field is required. Knowledge of proteomics, protein purification, enzyme assays, and cell culture is preferred but not required. Demonstrate a solid training background in Proteomics and Cell assays. Candidates with mostly Synthetic/Medicinal Chemistry training are discouraged from applying. Experience in protein purification from E. coli will be considered favorably, but not significantly. Devote 50% research time to arginylation research. Use 50% research time for independent interests and collaborations. Design, develop and perform enzymatic and cellular assays. Write papers and grants independently with guidance. Participate fully as a team player inside the lab. Assist graduate and undergraduate students in research activities. Application link: #J-18808-Ljbffr Rutgers University
