Applications are invited for the post of Research Associate / Postdoctoral Fellow in the following research area (experimental): Functional characterization of mitochondrial membrane protein import defects and onset of Parkinson’s disease
1.Name of the Post:Research Associate / Postdoctoral Fellow
2.Vacancies: One
3.Qualification: Ph. D. in the broad areas of cell biology, biochemistry, biophysics. Candidates with a degree in other disciplines can also apply if they have a strong aptitude for experimental protein biochemistry. Prior research experience in working with mitochondrial proteins and yeast model systems is highly desirable.
4.Salary: Rs. 47000 per month, based on qualification and prevailing DBT/CSIR norms.
5.Tenure: Minimum of 1 year and maximum of 3 years.
6.Job description: Generation of mutant library for the essential gene Tom40, membrane protein expression, characterization of morphological and physiological changes in yeast mitochondria, correlation of Tom40 defects with α-synuclein misimport in mitochondria, identification of molecular and metabolic defects in yeast, data analysis. Other researchrelated work can be assigned from time to time.
7.Description of research in the laboratory: We are working towards discovering the link between mitochondrial membrane protein import, membrane protein folding, protein stability and function. We combine ultrafast kinetics and spectroscopic measurements with single channel electrophysiology and cell survival assays to obtain a complete understanding of mitostasis and mitochondrial bioenergetics. We link mitochondrial dysregulation with the onset of debilitating pathologies including Parkinson’s disease, other neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer
