About this position
Postdoctoral Researcher in RNA Biology, Viral Mimicry, Innate Immunity and RNA–Protein Interactions at the LaCava Laboratory, University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), Omaha, USA.
The lab studies how endogenous RNAs and ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes are regulated and recognised by immune sensors, with implications for inflammation, cancer and aging. The advertised postdoc will work at the intersection of RNA biology, innate immunity, proteomics, and interactomics, with research themes including LINE-1 retrotransposon RNAs, structured and double-stranded RNA sensing, RNA–protein interactions, DNA hybrids, viral mimicry, and mechanistic studies in human cellular systems.
Applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent in RNA biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, immunology, or a related discipline. Desired experience includes RNA metabolism, RNA structure, RNA–protein interactions, transcriptomics, protein biochemistry, interactomics, mammalian cell culture, and cellular model development. Extra strengths such as CRISPR/Cas genome editing, engineered mammalian cell models, iPSC culture and differentiation, innate immune signalling, functional genomics, genetic screening, or advanced microscopy are welcomed. Prior proteomics experience is not required.
The announcement does not specify a deadline or funding package, but it notes that the successful candidate will have opportunities to develop skills in quantitative mass spectrometry, endogenous affinity capture, targeted proteomics, and native interactomics.
To apply, email the lab with your CV, a brief description of your previous research and future scientific interests, the expertise you would bring to the lab, and the skills you would like to develop. Contact: [email protected].
