SynthSys seeks a Postdoctoral Research Associate to research the protein kinase network of the pico-alga Ostreococcus tauri, a model species for plant systems biology. The post builds upon paradigm-shifting results demonstrating a non-transcriptional mechanism for biological timing in the alga, other eukaryotes, bacteria and archaea (O'Neill et al. Nature 2011; Edgar et al. Nature 2012), and the first shotgun proteomics in the alga (LeBihan et al. J. Proteomics, 2011). Using your experience with several of the following, protein kinase signaling networks, plant or algal molecular genetics, chronobiology, proteomics, you will work with bioinformatics and proteomics researchers on this interdisciplinary project. You will test hypotheses generated by recent phosphoproteomics data from our groups, by analysing the contribution of protein kinases to the clock's transcriptional regulators and the newly-discovered, non-transcriptional clock mechanism.
