A postdoctoral or Research Associate position is available immediately.
Current research focuses on sphingolipids that act as second messengers
to control signal transduction pathways and on discovering new
functions for sphingolipids. Most experiments use the model eucaryote
Saccharomyces cerevisiae because it is amenable to rapid genetic and
biochemical analyses. Ongoing projects are examining: (1) how
sphingolipid long chain bases and long chain base phosphates regulate
cell growth and death, and how the levels of these compounds are
regulated in response to heat and other stresses; (2) how long chain
bases and long chain base phosphates regulate endocytosis and the actin
cytoskeleton; (3) the roles that sphingolipids play in exocytosis and
the secretory pathway leading to transport of lipids and proteins to
cellular compartments; (4) the roles that sphingolipids play in stress
responses including heat and low pH stress. Since there is conservation
of some sphingolipid functions between yeast and mammals, the insight
gained from our studies should advance knowledge of mammalian cellular
functions and disease states including cancers, cardiovascular disease
and neurological disorders.

Candidates for this position should have a Ph. D. in Biochemistry or a
related field and have research experience with lipids, molecular
biology techniques or protein purification.
