Fedor Lab Research Opportunities

Postdoctoral position available:

A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the research group of Martha J. Fedor to investigate RNA-mediated gene regulation.  This postdoctoral project involves the study of regulatory RNAs, known as riboswitches, to integrate information from a variety of intracellular chemical signals to regulate gene expression in response to the metabolic state of the cell. This position provides an opportunity for an energetic young scientist to learn how to apply quantitative approaches to investigate RNA-mediated reactions in vivo while interacting with an outstanding group of established RNA scientists in premier research environment.

The ideal candidate will have a recent Ph.D. in Molecular Biology or Biochemistry and laboratory experience working with RNA. Salary support at a level commensurate with experience is assured for at least one year, with funds likely to be available for subsequent years depending on mutual agreement. To apply for this position, please send your CV, a brief statement of your scientific interests and goals. 

Graduate Research Rotation(s) Available:

All students must be accepted to the Graduate Program in Macromolecular and Cellular Structure and Chemistry at the Scripps Research Institute.
