Job Description
The Meyer Lab is seeking a motivated and creative Postdoctoral Scholar to join our team. As a newly established lab in the Department of Biology at Syracuse University we are dedicated to uncovering and manipulating proteinbased mechanisms that organisms use to sense and respond to changes in their environment. To achieve this we are integrating advanced livecell imaging with molecular and biochemical approaches to 1 investigate how protein condensation regulates environmentallydriven cellular and developmental processes (e.g. flowering) in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and 2 explore whether protein condensation represents a broader sensing mechanism across eukaryotes. Research into these topics will enhance our understanding of how eukaryotes perceive and respond to environmental changes and provide insights into the diverse molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying environmental regulation in living systems. This postdoctoral position is fully funded for up to two years. Specific research goals will be developed in collaboration with the principal investigator.
Responsibilities
Major position responsibilities: Design research projects execute experiments and analyze data relating to plant molecular biology biochemistry and/or evolutionary biology. Write fellowship proposal and manuscripts. Assist in grant writing. Mentor graduate and undergraduate students. Attend conferences and workshops. Participate with duties relating to the intrinsically disordered protein cohort .
Qualifications
Ph.D. in Plant Biology Cell and Molecular Biology Biochemistry Evolutionary Biology or a related field is required by the time of appointment. Demonstrated potential for excellence in research evidenced by a solid publication record or significant research accomplishments.
Employment Type
