私の同僚のDr. Choogon Leeの研究室（フロリダ州立大学医学部）では現在２名のポスドクを募集しています。興味を持たれた方はDr. Leeまでメールで応募して下さい。もし、生活環境や研究環境などについて質問のある方は私にメール（yoichi.kato@med.fsu.edu）で問い合わせて頂いても結構です（日本語可）。

Two NIH-funded postdoctoral positions are available immediately to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the mammalian circadian rhythms. We use various genetic models and in vivo techniques such as real time luminescence reporter technique using cultured brain and peripheral tissues.

Previous training in molecular biology and cell culture is required, but knowledge in circadian biology is not required. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent and must have a demonstrated ability to write and publish in English language journals.

Florida State University offers an excellent environment for postdoctoral training in biological sciences and a pleasant living environment.

Interested candidates should send CV and names of three references to:
