Working Title Postdoctoral Research Associate in Biochemistry Advertised Employing Department Roy J Carver Department of Biochemistry, Biophysics & Molecular Biology Appointment Type Post Doctoral Base of Employment D - Post Doctoral Full or Part Time Full-Time Pay Frequency Monthly Proposed Start Date As soon as possible, flexible Proposed End Date or Length of Term 1/31/2020; with possibility of renewal Number of Months Employed Per Year 12 Summary of Duties and Responsibilities An NIH-funded post-doctoral position is open in the laboratory of Thomas Bobik at Iowa State University to conduct research on bacterial microcompartments. Bacterial microcompartments are huge multi-protein complexes used to optimize metabolic pathways that have toxic or volatile intermediates. Microcompartments consist of a protein shell that encapsulates a metabolic pathway. The shell is selectively permeable allowing pathway substrates and products to cross while confining metabolic intermediates that are toxic to cytoplasmic components. Hundreds of species of bacteria produce microcompartments, but only a few type of microcompartments have been characterized in any detail. The primary focus of the position is to study the functions, regulation and mechanisms of diverse bacterial microcompartments using genetic, biochemical and biophysical methods. Applicants must have Ph.D microbiology, biochemistry, biophysics or a related field. Experience in bacterial genetics as well as biochemical and biophysical analysis of proteins is preferred. For more information see Professor Bobik’s research publications https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/browse/collection/42186415/?sort=date&direction=descending Required Education and Experience Ph.D. in Microbiology, Biochemistry, Biophysics, or related field completed prior to start date. Preferred Education and Experience Experience in bacterial genetics as well as biochemical and biophysical analysis of proteins is preferred.
