About this position

Indiana University Bloomington invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in the laboratory of Dr. David Kehoe in the Department of Biology. The project investigates the DNA-binding activity of a new class of photoreceptors in marine Synechococcus, combining DNA/protein biochemistry with computational approaches.

The research will determine the DNA-binding sites and light-color-regulated binding activities of two novel photoreceptors identified as master regulators of Type 4 Chromatic Acclimation (CA4). The work builds on previous studies of CA4 published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA and Annual Review of Microbiology.

The fellow will work within a broad Biology department spanning ecosystems, microbiology, developmental biology, evolution, cell biology, molecular biology, systems biology, bioinformatics, and genomics. The Kehoe Lab provides a research environment focused on molecular regulation, photoreceptor biology, transcriptional control, and cyanobacterial systems.

The position is supported by the NSF Systems and Synthetic Biology Program and offers a research setting combining experimental molecular biology with computational analysis.

Funding details

Salary is commensurate with experience. The position includes full benefits, including health insurance and retirement benefits. The project is funded by the NSF Systems and Synthetic Biology Program.

What's required

A Ph.D. in molecular biology or biochemistry and at least two years of experience in transcription factor-DNA binding research are required. Knowledge of prokaryotic signal transduction and transcriptional control is desirable but not essential. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or hold a currently valid visa for research work in the United States. Initiative, a strong work ethic, good communication skills, and the ability to work independently and as part of a dynamic research team are expected.

How to apply

Submit a cover letter describing previous experience, a complete curriculum vitae, copies of publications, and the names of at least three references, including their email addresses and phone numbers, through the Indiana University application portal. Contact Dr. Kehoe at [email protected] with questions.
