Description

A Postdoctoral position is available immediately to study the mechanismsof regulatory system by which genetic stability is maintained duringcell cycle progression. Our research effort is focused on elucidation ofthe molecular mechanisms of cell cycle checkpoint including the mitoticcheckpoint and DNA damage checkpoint utilizing genetic and physiologicalapproaches in both nematode, C. elegans and mouse (M. musculs).
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in the area of molecular biology,biochemistry. Expertise in cell biology, biochemistry, or genetics, ishighly desirable.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has (http://www.stjude.org/) ahighly interactive research environment and state-of-the-art facilitiesincluding core laboratories for proteomics, microarray analysis of geneexpression, transgenic/knock-out mouse technology, etc. (http://recruit.sciencemag.org/feature/profile/stjude.shl)
