A major research goal is directed at amphibians, but birds and other vertebrate taxa are also under study. The position is comparable to an Assistant Professorship with a competitive salary. Applicants must possess a PhD and should have some postdoctoral experience and a strong experimental and quantitative background. Several of these genes are expressed at high levels in lymphoid cells. Emphasis is upon characterizing the various family members, understanding the mechanism by which the family members impair G-protein signaling, and targeted disruption of various family members in mice.
Position is available immediately.
Applicants must have a PhD and or MD and less than five years of postdoctoral experience. In March of 1997, there will be a position available for a postdoc to conduct molecular biology experiments testing theoretical predictions from information theory analysis. Although the projects are heavily intertwined with mathematical and computer work, I will only consider people willing and able to do bench work. The projects are cutting-edge science. The position can start sooner than March 1997 to allow some overlap with current postdoc.
