Research Assistant Professor
University of VirginiaAbout the role
Description
The Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics seeks a scientist at the Research Assistant Professor Level to help lead a biochem/structural biology program under the direction of Ling Qi, Ph.D. This Research Associate Professor (RAP) will support and expand our research program in the molecular mechanisms of endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) in mammalian systems. This position is essential to advance our NIH-funded work on the SEL1L-HRD1 ERAD complex and its role in protein quality control, metabolic regulation, and disease pathogenesis, including ongoing projects such as R01DK143292 and R01AG089640. Specifically, the RAP will lead efforts focused on the biochemical reconstitution and structural characterization of ERAD machinery, areas that are critical to the mechanistic depth of our program but currently underrepresented in the lab’s expertise.
