Job Description:
The Castañeda lab uses a variety of biochemical and biophysical methods and techniques to uncover fundamental aspects of how proteins undergo liquid-liquid phase separation.We aim to determine how protein quality control mechanisms interface with membraneless organelle assembly and disassembly, particularly in how cells respond to stress.
We currently seek a researcher with background in biophysics and/or biochemistry to examine the physicochemical properties that determine physiological phase separation using molecular approaches such as NMR spectroscopy, small angle scattering, and single molecule FRET.
Our lab has multiple projects that focus on the role of liquid-liquid phase separation as it relates to the structure and function of ubiquitin-binding shuttle proteins.We are looking for driven and excited scientists to join our growing research group.The candidate will enter an openly collaborative environment with excellent colleagues/mentors and biophysical resources.
Our lab works with many other research labs at Syracuse University in the Departments of Biology and Chemistry as well as throughout the country, including the University of Michigan and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.The aims of the project are to examine how protein quality control components (including the proteasome, polyubiquitin chains, etc.) regulate the assembly and disassembly of biomolecular condensates, and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of how domain-domain interactions alter and modulate phase separation.
The researcher will join an interdisciplinary environment with opportunities to learn new techniques and develop new research directions and ideas.Specific research goals will be discussed and agreed with the principal investigator.
