Andrew Truman

Postdoctoral Research Associate position available in the Truman Laboratory at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte for Spring 2027 . The project focuses on the Hsp70 chaperone code and proteostasis , investigating how post-translational modifications regulate molecular chaperones and cellular protein homeostasis. The research combines molecular biology , biochemistry , proteomics , genetics , and cell biology to study protein folding, stress responses, signaling pathways, and disease-associated processes. Work will span yeast and mammalian model systems and use cutting-edge proteomic and interactome-mapping technologies. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in chaperone biology, protein quality control, post-translational regulation, and mechanistic cell biology. Eligibility highlights: applicants should have a Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, or a related field. Experience in protein biochemistry, proteomics, cell signaling, or molecular genetics is desirable. The lab also prefers candidates with prior experience in molecular chaperones and phosphorylation in yeast and/or mammalian cells. A required qualification listed on the lab page is at least one first-author paper in a Q1 journal . The position offers opportunities for career development, collaboration, and publication in a highly productive research environment. No stipend amount is stated in the post. Application: use the lab’s open positions page and follow the “Apply Here” link to submit materials.
