Two postdoctoral positions are available to investigate the molecular basis of visual loss in transgenic models. The laboratory investigates mechanisms of photoreceptors death and the application of gene therapy. To investigate the molecular basis of the visual process, the laboratory utilizes molecular and cell biology approaches such as transgenic models, promoter bashing, protein isolation and detection, yeast hybrid systems to isolate associating proteins, histology and immunocytochemistry. Position is in molecular biology and gene therapy and will have an opportunity to grow into an independent position in the future.
Competitive salary is guaranteed for two years with potential extension.
