Brandeis University Open Post-doc positions for research on circular RNAs (circRNAs) or circadian rhythms at Brandeis University The Kadener lab recently relocated to the Boston area and we are looking for highly motivated postdoctoral fellows for exciting research on circular RNAs (circRNAs) and circadian rhythms We are looking for post-doctoral fellows for performing research on circRNA function Our lab uses both Drosophila and mammalian systems to unravel the role of circRNAs in brain function and behavior Our laboratory is one of the leaders in this new and exciting field of research The studies will require the use of the most advanced biochemical, computational, genomic and neurobiology tools to determine the mechanisms by which circRNA regulate behavior and other neuron-related process Our studies range from mechanistic biochemical and molecular characterization to the role of these molecules in neurobiology and behavior Our work utilizes genomic, computational and system-level approaches Relevant publications from our lab in the field include: Pamudurti et al Mol Cell 2017; Rybak-Wolf et al Mol Cell 2015; Ashwall-Fluss et al Mol Cell 2014 In addition, we are looking for at least one post-doctoral researcher to study molecular and neural aspects of the circadian clock This project involves the development and use of advance molecular, genomic, system-biology and neurobiology techniques to unravel mechanisms behind the robustness and plasticity of the circadian clock Relevant publications of our lab in the field include: Buchumenski et al., PLoS Genetics 2017; Afik et al., NAR 2017; Mezan et al., Cell Reports 2016; Lerner et al., Nat Communications 2015; Bartok et al., EMBO J 2015; Weiss et al., PLoS Genetics, 2014 Previous experience in Drosophila genetics or neurobiology is advisable but not required Computational applicants are encouraged to apply For more information about http://kadenerlab.huji.ac.il the lab, visit http: http://www.bio.brandeis.edu/faculty/kadener.html and Note for German Applicants: Prof Kadener is an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation award winner, so the Kadener lab can act as a host lab for Germans applying to the Feodor Lynen Research fellowship If you are interested, please email skadener@brandeis.edu with a cover letter and CV Brandeis University, Department of Biology, Rosenstiel Basic Medical Sciences Research Center Waltham, MA 02454 (781) 736-2481 • (781) 736-2447 • mmarr@brandeis.edu
