PhD in biochemistry

Two PhD research associate positions are available in the Duffield lab at the University of Notre Dame, USA, to study the role of novel regulators in the mouse circadian and metabolic systems.

(Protein biochemist)
A postdoctoral research associate position is available in the Duffield laboratory within the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. We are seeking a researcher to work on projects related to the understanding of the molecular basis of mammalian circadian rhythms and metabolic function, with particular emphasis on protein-protein interactions between clock components in neuronal and peripheral tissues. Biochemical and molecular approaches will be used to examine the role of particular genes and gene products in the regulation of the circadian clock. The candidate should be familiar and experienced in protein biochemistry (western blotting of native and ectopically expressed proteins, co-immunoprecipitation and CHIP assays) and tissue culture, have a Ph.D. in biochemistry, biology, genetics, neuroscience or related discipline, and have peer-reviewed publications.

(Molecular biology and physiology)
A postdoctoral research associate position is available in the Duffield laboratory within the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. We are seeking a researcher to work on projects related to the understanding of the molecular basis of mammalian circadian rhythms and metabolic function, with particular emphasis on elucidating novel and canonical regulators in the mouse neuronal and peripheral clocks (e.g. liver, heart, white adipose tissue). Molecular, Cellular, biochemical and immunohistochemical techniques as well as genomic and behavioral approaches will be used to examine the role of particular genes and gene products in the regulation of the circadian clock in both in vivo and in vitro model systems. The candidate should be familiar and experienced in some or all of standard cellular, biochemical and molecular techniques, should have a Ph.D. in biology, biochemistry, genetics, neuroscience or related discipline, and have peer-reviewed publications.
