Position Description
The Seldin lab at UC Irvine is jointly recruiting a postdoctoral fellow in collaboration with the Diabetes division at Novo Nordisk in Copenhagen, Denmark. The nature of this collaboration involves a dynamic and innovative research group dedicated to unraveling the molecular underpinnings of metabolic diseases. We operate at the intersection of biochemistry, molecular biology, and translational medicine, striving to identify novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of metabolic disorders. By employing cutting-edge technologies and multidisciplinary approaches, we aim to make significant contributions to the field of metabolic research. Specifically, the individual will work to characterize the roles of new endocrine proteins which are computationally predicted to act on pathways relevant for metabolic disease. The individual hired under this mechanism will primarily be based out of Irvine, but should be able to travel routinely to Copenhagen to facilitate active collaboration. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work in a collaborative and stimulating environment, contributing to groundbreaking discoveries with the potential to translate into clinical applications.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and execute experiments to screen soluble proteins in cellular and animal models of metabolic diseases.
- Employ state-of-the-art biochemical and molecular biology techniques to analyze protein function and regulation.
- Characterize identified proteins using a variety of assays, including but not limited to, protein-protein interaction studies, enzymatic assays, and functional assays in cellular and animal models.
- Collaborate with team members to understand computational approaches detailing identification of organ signaling mechanisms and related outcomes
- Collaborate with team members to integrate findings into broader research projects and contribute to the development of therapeutic strategies.
- Maintain detailed records of experimental procedures, results, and analyses.
- Present research findings at internal meetings, conferences, and scientific seminars.
- Willingness to travel between Irvine and Copenhagen 1-2 times per year
