- The Department of Molecular & Cell Biology and Nutritional Sciences & Toxicology at the University of California, Berkeley seeks applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar position in the Olzmann Lab.
- The position is in the area of cell biology and biochemistry.
- The Olzmann research group employs a combination of systems biology, chemical biology, and cell biology strategies to elucidate the principles of cellular lipid homeostasis.
- We are particularly interested in understanding the regulation and functions of neutral lipid storage organelles called lipid droplets.
- Dysregulation of lipid droplets and lipid metabolism has been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases, including prevalent metabolic diseases (e.g., obesity and fatty liver disease) and cancer.
- We are also interested in dissecting the cellular mechanisms that prevent lipotoxic damage, such as the accumulation of oxidatively damaged phospholipids that occurs during ferroptosis.
- Leveraging genetic approaches, we identify ferroptosis resistance factors that can be therapeutically targeted as a potential new strategy to treat therapy-resistant forms of cancer.
- As a postdoc in the Olzmann lab, you will be part of an inclusive and collaborative research group.
- You will be expected to spearhead a new research project related to cellular lipid homeostasis and lipotoxicity.
Responsibilities:
The candidate will work closely with the PI and lab members to design and lead a major research project examining the cell biology of lipid homeostasis and lipotoxicity. The position also involves data management, preparing manuscripts, dissemination of research through presentations and publications, contributing to grant proposals, and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students.
The ideal candidate will exhibit the ability to implement interdisciplinary approaches, develop and troubleshoot new methodologies to overcome barriers to scientific progress, and identify and pursue novel, exciting questions.
