We are looking for a postdoctoral scientist with experience using biochemistry and molecular biology approaches.. In particular, experience in transcription is highly valued. A proven track record of publication is required. The successful candidate will undertake a project in transcriptional proteomics where the dynamics and modifications of protein complexes will be analyzed and the functional and mechanistic of the results will be pursued. Our laboratory uses a chromatography based proteomics technology named multidimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT) and we carry out quantitative proteomic analyses in all of our studies (http://www.stowers-institute.org/labs/Washburnlab.asp). We are well equipped with multiple linear ion trap (LTQ) mass spectrometers and LTQ-Orbirtrp mass spectrometers. We have a powerful computational environment for data analysis. The laboratory is fully equipped for biochemistry and molecular biology studies. In addition, the Stowers Institute (www.stowers.org<http://www.stowers.org>) has outstanding technology centers in bioinformatics, cytometry, imaging, molecular biology, and microarrys. We use these tools in a variety of our studies. The successful candidate does not need any protein mass spectrometry experience and will learn these technologies while in the laboratory.
The successful candidate will have completed or will shortly complete a Ph.D., and will have a strong publication record. Candidates interested in this position should send a CV with list of publications, a statement of research interest, and have two letters of recommendation sent to mpw from stowers.org<mailto:mpw from stowers.org>
