**Job Summary**
The Park Lab invites applications for a Temporary Researcher to conduct basic molecular and biochemical experiments, to understand mechanisms of proteasome assembly and regulation. CU is an Equal Opportunity Employer and complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment. We are committed to creating a workplace where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, and we encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply, including protected veterans and individuals with disabilities.
**Who We Are**
Park's Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder
We study the proteasome, a central mediator of protein breakdown. Functions and mechanisms of the proteasome are extremely conserved in eukaryotes, allowing our research findings to be broadly applicable to many organismal contexts, from a simple model as budding yeasts to a more complex, human stem cells, for example. A major research question in Park lab is to understand how the proteasome, a complex molecular machine, assembles via multiple dedicated chaperone proteins. How do these chaperones enable proteasome assembly accurately and efficiently? How do they 'know' faulty vs. correct complexes, and act on them properly? Cell's ability to supply the proteasome is essential to life, and survival through many stressed conditions, including "nutritional stresses". In particular, cancer cells frequently encounter nutritional stresses, and many of them alter expressions of proteasome assembly chaperones. For more detailed description of our current projects, please see Research section of our website.
**What Your Key Responsibilities Will Be**
