Brief Description of Duties:
The Postdoctoral Associate will assist the Principal Investigator Dr. Wei Yang in the Department of Pathology and Stony Brook Cancer Center . The well-funded Yang laboratory focuses on applying leading-edge multi-level proteomics approaches to understand and prevent cancer metastasis, a malignant process accounting for about 90% of cancer death. The project focuses on investigating the roles and mechanisms of RIPK2 in prostate cancer metastasis. Our recent findings suggest that targeting RIPK2 could be a paradigm-shifting therapeutic strategy for substantially extending cancer patients' lives and delaying painful symptoms caused by metastasis (Nature Communications 2022 ).

The Postdoctoral Associate will perform discovery proteomics, phosphoproteomics, and palmitoyl-proteomics to identify proteins downstream of or interacting with RIPK2, as well as targeted proteomics for high-throughput quantification of RIPK2 pathway signature proteins. The incumbent will conduct research and ensure that all experiments are appropriately conducted following the policies and procedures of Stony Brook University. The incumbent will possess strong interpersonal and communication skills.

Within the predetermined research scope and methodology, conduct research experiments in the field of proteomics.
