Open Positions

 

A postdoctoral training position is available to study fundamental RNA regulatory mechanisms with a high relevance to human health.

Several exciting projects are available, including small RNA regulation of spermatogenesis, the role of RNA helicases in RNP granule formation and function, stress related RNA regulation, and the study of mechanism of function of novel small RNAs including tRNA fragments.

The PI of the lab has extensive expertise on the development and application of high throughput sequencing methodologies (CLIP-Seq, RNA-Seq) and also classic biochemistry approaches for the study of RNA-protein complexes in vitro and using cell culture systems, accompanied by powerful genetic models. The postdoctoral fellow will have the opportunity to be trained on and further expand on these approaches for the generation of high-impact publications. Click on Research and Publications to learn more.

Candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree in the general fields of biochemistry/molecular biology/cell biology; candidates with experience in RNA biology, protein biochemistry, NGS techniques and/or genetic models will be preferred. Please email a CV, a letter stating research interests with reference to our work, and contact information for three referees to avourekas@lsu.edu
