Postdoctoral Fellow Position - University of North Carolina
A POSTDOCTORAL POSITION is available to study the structure, function and metabolism of the long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases that are critical for the synthesis of triacylglycerol and phospholipids. Applicants should have a recent PhD in physiology, biochemistry or a related field Applicants should have a strong interest in mammalian lipid metabolism as it pertains to diabetes, muscle metabolism, or heart physiology. Our current research asks why the lack of fatty acid oxidation and enhanced glucose metabolism causes skeletal muscle degeneration, cardiac hypertrophy, and inadequate brown adipose thermogenesis. We are additionally interested in how acyl-CoAs and other lipid intermediates are partitioned within cells and channeled into different metabolic pathways.
Recent publications:

Postdoctoral Fellow Position in Lipid/Fatty Acid metabolism
Project
We are recruiting a postdoctoral fellow with a strong background in the metabolism of fatty acid to join the lab. The projects will focus on investigating how the metabolism of fatty acid effects activity of oncogenic proteins and their tumorigenic potential in prostate cancer.
Some background of my research can be found in the following publications:
1) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21464326
2) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21135112
Qualifications required
A PhD in the metabolism of fatty acid or lipid is required. An excellent publication record along with advanced experience in biochemistry and/or fatty acid metabolism will be considered distinct advantages. Other experience in generating/characterizing mouse models, multi-color flow cytometry, and retroviral transduction would also be an advantage. Applicants should email his/her CV and the contact information of three references to:
