A position for a Postdoctoral Fellow is currently available. The successful candidate will study the role of Pax3 and the cell cycle regulatory proteins in regulation of cell fate. Specifically, the ability of Pax3 to induce mesenchymal to epithelial transition through aspects of the Wnt signalling pathway in a number of normal and malignantly transformed cells will be investigated using molecular, cellular and genetic approaches. The direct influence of the pRB protein on Pax3-dependent cellular changes will also be examined. Candidates must have a Ph. D. and will have a strong background in cellular and molecular techniques.
Previous experience using adult and embryonic mice is an asset.
The initial position is for one year with the possibility of extension.
