Position description
The Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of
California, Berkeley seeks applications for an Assistant Project
Scientist in the Rape Lab in the area of AML cancer proteomics and
drug discovery.
This position is based on recent discoveries in the PI's lab that
suggested that an understanding of protein degradation pathways in
AML can form the basis for novel therapeutic approaches. This
project will build on genetic discoveries that allow the lab to
develop small molecules that modulate an important degradation step
in AML cells. Experience in AML, genetic screens, and small
molecule discovery is required.
The duties of the position include:
* Carrying out and analyzing whole genome CRISPR synthetic
lethality screens
* Carrying out proteomics analysis
* Developing cell lines with endogenous tags and deletions using
CRISPR
* Reconstituting ubiquitylation reactions
* Performing small molecule screens to disrupt ubiquitylation in
cells.
* Correlating results or genetic and chemical biology screens with
clinical data in AML
* Managing and analyzing data
* Pursuing publication of research in peer-reviewed journals;
* Pursuing additional funding opportunities consistent with
existing and future research programs and goals
* Developing and troubleshooting new related research
directions
* Training and mentoring lab members
This position provides full benefits.
