Senior/Research Fellow, Molecular and Cellular Biology [LKCMedicine]

About This Role

Seeking a Senior/Research Fellow to lead mechanistic studies of autophagy and mitophagy, with opportunities for in vivo mouse models.

Responsibilities

• Design and execute experiments to investigate molecular mechanisms of autophagy and mitophagy
• Apply biochemical and molecular approaches (e.g., protein interaction studies, signalling pathway analysis)
• Develop and/or utilize in vivo models (e.g., mouse systems) to address disease-relevant questions
• Integrate biochemical findings with cellular and physiological outcomes
• Independently plan and lead research projects, including data analysis and interpretation
• Contribute to manuscript preparation and development of research directions

Requirements

• PhD in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field
• Strong background in biochemistry including protein expression and purification
• Experience with molecular biology techniques (e.g., cloning) and a solid foundation in cell biology
• Demonstrated ability to design and execute mechanistic studies of cellular pathways
• Experience in or strong interest in developing expertise in in vivo models (e.g., mouse systems)
• Experience with proteomics approaches (e.g., mass spectrometry-based analysis) is advantageous
• Strong publication record or evidence of research productivity
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
