South Florida大学Moffitt Cancer Ceneterポスドク募集

私の同僚のDr. Jia Fangが2006年12月よりSouth Florida大学Moffitt Cancer Ceneterで独立してラボを開始するにあたり、意欲あるポスドクを募集しています。
Dr. Fangは新規ヒストンメチル化酵素SET8の同定、機能解析、X染色体不活性化におけるH3K27メチル化、H2Aユビキチン化の役割、新規ヒストン脱メチル化酵素JHD1の機能解析等行いました（英文参照してください）。Dr. Fangは非常にSmartで、私自身、現在のラボに合流してから様々な実験手法を親切に教えていただきました。
South Florida大学はフロリダ半島北西部タンパにあり、観光地として知られているオーランドまで車で1時間、またタンパから海まで車で30分と恵まれた環境にあります。研究所は北タンパに位置し、家族連れでも安心して過ごせる環境だそうです。
Epigeneticsの分野に興味のある方、研究内容等に関してはDr. Fangまでe-mailでご相談ください。日本語で何かご相談したい方は私に聞いて頂いてもかまいません。なおポスドクが決まりしだいこの募集は打ち切らせていただきます。
