Stony Brook University/BNL has a Postdoc opening to work on the structural mechanisms of plant stress signaling controlled by a family of conserved cysteine proteases called metacaspase (MC). Structural, molecular and genetic approaches will be deployed to dissect the mechanistic basis of MC functions for two prototypical members Arabidopsis AtMC4 and AtMC9, each with distinct signaling pathways and regulatory properties. The results obtained are expected to identify novel strategies to improve plant stress tolerance through engineering of constructs or chemical modulators that can predictably modify these signaling pathways.
Applicants should have a recent PhD in biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, plant biology or a closely related field, preferably with experience (but not required) in X-ray crystallography or single-particle cryo-EM. Ability to carry out protein expression and purification work is essential and an interactive personality is highly desirable.
