Faculty.Professor.Research Assistant - Full-Time
About The Position
The Department of Cell Biology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine is seeking candidates for a full-time faculty position at the rank of Research Assistant Professor (non-tenure stream). The role involves using S. cerevisiae as a model organism to understand how proteostasis factors recognize substrates in a complex environment and resolve proteotoxic stress. The successful candidate will leverage these mechanistic insights to develop therapeutic interventions for cancer and/or neurodegenerative diseases. The position offers the opportunity to join an interactive, interdisciplinary group and access state-of-the-art equipment and facilities at the University of Pittsburgh.
Requirements
- Ph.D. or equivalent degree in Cell Biology.
- Strong track record of accomplishment from Ph.D. work in biochemistry or cell biology.
