Description

University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine An NIH-funded postdoctoralposition is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Rory Fisherin the Department of Pharmacology. The laboratory studies the molecularbiology and signaling actions of RGS proteins in mammalian cells and invivo. RGS proteins were discovered as negative regulators ofheterotrimeric G proteins.

Projects are aimed at defining G-protein-dependent and -independentmechanisms by which particular RGS proteins function as signaltransducing proteins, mechanisms underlying control of RGS geneexpression and roles of RGS proteins in disease states including cancerand acute pancreatitis. These studies will employ modern molecular andcell biological approaches including cloning of cDNAs and gene segments,site directed mutagenesis, transfection of mammalian cells, recombinantprotein expression, confocal microscopy, gene expression analysis,protein interaction analysis, temporal and spatial analysis of signaltransduction pathways, and functional genomics.

A Ph.D. in a biomedical science and practical experience and knowledgeof molecular and integrative signal transduction is desired. Candidateswith expertise in two or more of these approaches will be givenpreference.

The laboratory is well equipped for these studies, and support andmotivation will be provided for future career advancement. This projectwill take advantage of excellent core facilities at the University ofIowa (Imaging, Vector and Gene Targeting cores) for rapid advancement ofresearch projects.

Iowa City is a mid-sized college town with high living standards and aninexpensive cost of living relative to larger cities.
