The Cooper lab is seeking a cell biologist with interests in live-cell imaging to study adhesion dynamics during cell movement.
Tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent protein ubiquitination regulates cell-matrix adhesion dynamics and movement of epithelial sheets. We know that tyrosine phosphorylation of specific adhesion proteins destabilizes adhesions. We found that phosphorylation also ubiquitin ligases to adhesions and that inhibiting ligase recruitment stimulates adhesion disassembly. This suggests a cycle of protein binding, phosphorylation, ubiquitination and destruction that regulates adhesion growth. In principle, this mechanism regulates the balance between adhesion assembly and disassembly, and potentially could ensure that adhesions grow at the leading edge and shrink behind. Nevertheless, the sequence of events in individual adhesions has not been determined. The in vivo significance of these regulatory events is also unknown.
Our present efforts are directed to:
Candidates will be encouraged to build on these ideas and develop new directions for their research projects.
Successful applicants will hold a PhD or MD and have extensive experience and interest in cell and/or developmental biology. In addition, applicants should have a 2+ years of experience working on projects in mammalian molecular, cellular or developmental biology. Hands on experience with cell imaging or murine developmental biology is desirable. The candidate should be enthusiastic, scientifically rigorous and inquisitive. Since the Cooper lab is small, the candidate will need the technical skills, confidence and drive it takes to start new directions. The candidate will be responsible for all aspects of their research project. They must be able to function independently and also be highly collaborative. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential.
To apply please submit your CV, a cover letter detailing your research interests and suitability for this position, and the names of at least two references.

The Hahn laboratory in the Division of Basic Sciences has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Associate to investigate mechanisms of transcriptional regulation using yeast as a model system. Potential research projects include studies on the mechanisms of transcription activators and the genome-wide roles of transcription coactivators and regulatory factors. A variety of approaches such as genomics, molecular genetics, biochemistry and computational biology will be utilized. The precise topic of the research project will be determined jointly with the candidate and candidates that display initiative and independence will be given priority.
PhD in either molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, or related fields with ideally 0-2 years of postdoctoral experience. Preferred candidates will have experience in molecular biology and biochemistry, next generation sequencing data analysis and experimentation (e.g., ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, etc.), and experience with Python and/or R. Published evidence of productivity and creativity and strong analytical and interpersonal skills are required. The successful candidate will have the ability to work both independently and in a highly collaborative environment.
To apply, please submit a CV and a cover letter that describes your research accomplishments as well as your interest in the Hahn laboratory research program.

A highly motivated Post-Doctoral Fellow is sought to carry out research in the laboratory of Dr. Linda Buck at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA.
The Buck Lab studies the molecular mechanisms and neural circuits that underlie the sense of smell and instinctive odor responses. It is interested in how the olfactory system detects myriad environmental chemicals and how the brain translates those chemicals into diverse odor perceptions, hormonal alterations, and instinctive behaviors. It is also interested in neural mechanisms that underlie stress. Illumination of the neural circuits underpinning these and related effects may provide clues to those affected in certain human disorders, particularly those involving stress, fear, and appetite. The lab is particularly interested in using cutting edge technologies, such as single cell genomics, for dissecting the composition of complex neural networks.
The fellow will be responsible for developing and executing a project related to current and future interests of the lab, as determined by discussions with Dr. Buck. The successful candidate will be an individual who is enthusiastic about science and is capable of independent research.

A hallmark of many diseases and cancers is a dysfunctional cytoskeleton. A properly functioning cytoskeleton is needed for a wide variety of cellular events ranging from cell shape to cell signaling and migration/metastasis. The Parkhurst laboratory in the Basic Sciences Division at Fred Hutch uses multidisciplinary approaches to study these dynamic structural elements in various processes including wound repair and nuclear architecture/organization. Our goal is to understand the role of these elements in regulating normal developmental events and how this regulation goes awry in diseases/cancers, thereby providing new avenues for possible therapeutic targets or to enhance the effectiveness of existing treatment modalities.
Our current research efforts are divided among studies of: (1) Molecular and cellular mechanisms of single cell wound repair, and (2) Actin and microtubule cytoskeleton dynamics mediated by the Rho1 small GTPase and its effectors; and (3) Nuclear architecture and organization.
This is an ideal position for a recent graduate who wants to gain an intense research experience before pursuing graduate and/or medical school.
