Other responsibilities include the continued implementation of the GFP color variants as tools for imaging in yeast, training of visiting scientists and in house research projects. Familiarity with fluorescent microscopy and imaging software is required. Familiarity with yeast is desirable.
Salary commensurate with experience.
Please attach your resume. We modified these plasmids to produce the CFP and YFP color variants of GFP, allowing multiple proteins to be labelled concurrently in a single cell. Thus protein interactions predicted by other methods can be tested by determining whether the proteins co-localize to the same region of the cell. In order to facilitate co-localization studies we constructed a group of benchmark strains . These benchmark strains contain CFP or YFP fusions to proteins previously characterized to reside in specific sub-cellular domains.
