Job Title: Postdoc Nutrient sensing, TOR, dietary restriction and aging
Job Number: 7044321
Date Posted: 06/22/2011
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled

Job Description
Postdoctoral position available -Kapahi Laboratory
Nutrient sensing,TOR, dietary restriction and aging

The focus of the Kapahi Laboratory is to identify and characterize the genetic pathways that mediate effects on lifespan, age-related diseases and metabolism. This is being achieved by using an interdisciplinary approach combining genetic, biochemical and genomic techniques in invertebrate model systems D. melanogaster, C. elegans, and human cells. In particular the lab is following their discoveries that TOR pathway, modulation of mRNA translation, mitochondrial function and ER stress, modulate lifespan. The broader significance of this research is to help uncover the role of nutrition in the etiology of age-related human diseases like diabetes, obesity, cancer and neurodegeneration. The lab is interested in developing models of age-related diseases using invertebrate and cell culture model systems. The candidate will receive training in specific area(s) of research with the aim of progressing towards an independent career.
