Emory University ポスドク募集;

知り合いのPIがpostdocを募集しています。
Atlantaはアメリカ南部ジョージア州の州都で、緑が多く残されたままの都市です。その郊外に位置するEmory大学は南部を代表する私大の一つで、医学部、法学部が有名です。西海岸やボストンのように家賃も高くはないですし、日本人にも過ごしやすい都市の一つと思います。

Dr. Keqiang Ye　は同じdepartmentでlabを持つ若手PIです。気さくでいいPIだと思います。Cell biologyのLabです。論文も出てますし、研究費も潤沢です。

興味もある人は直接メールでKeqiangにapplyしてみてください。

POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS

Two highly motivated individuals are wanted for two postdoctoral
positions at Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia,
USA. Strong molecular biology training is required, neuroscience
background and neuronal primary culture technique is a plus. These
two positions are available immediately and the salary is dependent on　the experience.

The primary focus of my lab is molecular mechanisms of neuronal cell
survival. Specifically, we concentrate on the nuclear GTPase PIKE's
biological functions in NGF signaling cascade in the nucleus.
Moreover, we are attempting to characterize physiological role of PIKE
in human brain tumors in which PIKE is overamplified. In addition, we
are interested in dissecting neurofibromatosis NF2?s molecular
regulation and functions. Future research projects include:

a) Nuclear Akt functions in neuronal cell survival

b) PIKE overamplification and differential regulation in human cancers

c) The molecular mechanism of tumor suppressive activity of NF2
