Position description

The Hurley Lab in the QB3 Institue at UC Berkeley investigates the fundamental questions of how the interaction between proteins and membranes determines cell and organelle shape and the evolution of shape over time, how protein-membrane interactions turn on and off the signals that control essential cell processes, and how defects in these processes can lead to neurodegenerative diseases. We are seeking an Assistant Project Scientist to carry out ASAP foundation-supported research on the mechanisms of mitophagy (autophagy of mitochondria) in human cells to understand and treat Parkinson's Disease.

Research projects would be 1) in vitro reconstitution of the condensation of the human autophagy machinery and its regulation by TBK1 in Parkin-depedent mitophagy, and analysis of its function in cells, and 2) to serve as a lead cell biologist in the relationship of alpha-synuclein and membrane repair. Prepare results for preprints, publications, grants, and presentations. Participate in workshops and meetings sponsored by ASAP. Maintain accurate laboratory records and observe safe laboratory practices. Participate in training of undergraduate and new graduate students in the lab in these areas.
