Position Description:
The Pedley Research Group in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in the Carver College of Medicine at the University of Iowa is seeking to hire a postdoctoral researcher in cellular biochemistry to advance our understanding of the cellular organization of metabolism and its regulation. Our laboratory studies the spatial and temporal regulation of the de novo purine biosynthesis through the lens of the purinosome, a dynamic biomolecular condensate that efficiently carries out this process. In this position, the postdoctoral researcher will further explore the relationship between the purinosome and nearby subcellular structures such as mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. The candidate will be responsible for designing, generating, and interpreting experimental data, collaborating with others within the laboratory and externally, presenting their data at scientific meetings, drafting manuscripts, and assisting in the daily operations of the laboratory. The researcher will also be highly encouraged to seek extramural and/or intramural funding to support their innovative research endeavors.

Required Qualifications:
Demonstrated publication record reflecting independent research contributions

At least three years of experience in mammalian cell culture and standard molecular biology techniques

Experience generating stable cell lines by viral transduction or genome editing strategies

Experience with fluorescence microscopy and quantitative image analysis

Strong written and oral communication skills

Desirable Qualifications:
Excellent organizational skills and ability to manage multiple concurrent projects

Research background or extensive knowledge in cell metabolism

Previously performed protein-protein interaction assays such as PLA, co-immunoprecipitation, and/or complementation assays

Previously trained junior researchers
