Administrative Contact: Jubrainy Camilo (jubrainy.camilo@mssm.edu; 646-902-2077)

Details of Research Project: 

The Maze lab is in need of a new postdoc to investigate activity-dependent mechanisms of histone monoaminylation, a novel mark discovered by our lab, which is mediated by transglutaminase enzymes.

Technical Duties: (include any protocols)

This postdoc's work will incorporate biochemical, molecular, genomic, proteomic, and behavioral approaches to investigate activity-dependent mechanisms of transglutaminase nuclear shuttling, complex binding, and recruitment to chromatin to allow for histone monoaminylation deposition, removal, and exchange.

Educational and other Requirements for the position: PhD, or equivalent

Experience Required: 0 years of postdoctoral experience required

Goals/Outcomes of the Research Project:  Determine molecular mechanisms contributing to activity-dependent histone monoaminylation in the central nervous system, a novel mark discovered by our lab, which is mediated by transglutaminase enzymes.
