Postdoctoral position at the laboratory of Mónica Montero Lomelí
.Instituto de Bioquimica Medica.Programa de Biologia Molecular e
Biotecnologia.Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro.Rio de Janerio, Brazil.
Our group is interested in the potential use of yeast Yarrowia lipolytica,
using a wild type strain, as work-horse for biotechnological applications.
The
position available is to design a platform for gene deletion and
heterologous
expression of proteins in this wild type strain to map genes that can alter
lipid accumulation. We had previously reported a rapid high throughput
method
to study lipid droplet dynamics in the known yeast Saccharomyces
cerevisiae
Bozaquel-Morais BL, PLoS One. 2010 Oct 28;5(10):e13692) . The focus of our
most recent work is to study the signaling mechanisms that alter the accumulation of lipid droplets in yeast, using S. cerevisiae, Yarrowia lipolytica and Usitlago maydis. We use biochemistry, yeast genetics, microarray and systems biology approaches. Depending on the background and interest of the applicant we offer opportunity to study Yarrowia lipolytica and join the other research projects. The fellowship is renewable for three years and can start as soon as Dezember 2012-January 2013. The candidate should be independent, with strong background in biochemistry, yeast genetics and molecular biology, and no more than 5 years of receiving the PhD degree.
