University of Arizona - College of Medicine, Phoenix - Phoenix, AZ

Postdoctoral fellow position in RNA Biology
A postdoctoral position is available to do research in regulation of pre-mRNA splicing in humans at the Department of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Arizona, College of Medicine-Phoenix. Specific focus will be on understanding mechanisms of splice site pairing and commitment to splicing. These are critical steps in formation of the spliceosome, which is a large RNA complex that catalyzes splicing. They are also important for maintenance of splicing fidelity and for regulation of alternative splicing by splicing regulatory proteins. These studies will use a combination of conventional molecular biology and biochemistry and advanced high-throughput RNA -seq and proteomic techniques.
The University of Arizona, College of Medicine-Phoenix is located in downtown Phoenix in a new state-of-the-art research building with excellent core facilities. The College of Medicine-Phoenix fosters academic excellence and economic growth in the region. The environment fosters academic excellence and ample opportunity for collaborations with researchers at institutions such as Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), Arizona State University, The Biodesign Institute, the Arizona Cancer Center – an NCI -designated comprehensive cancer center, St. Joseph’s Hospital/Barrow Neurological Institute and the Scottsdale Mayo Clinic.
