Moffitt Cancer center（フロリダ州タンパ）の古倉と申します。私が所属するラボでポスドクを募集しております。PIのDr. Fangは昨年12月にMoffitt cancer centerに赴任したばかりで、私自身もこの６月から留学を始めたばかりです。研究内容としましては、ヒストンメチル化に関わる酵素とヒストン修飾とガン化・細胞老化との関連を生化学的・分子生物学的に解析しています。バックグランドとしては、細胞培養やタンパク質の扱いにある程度慣れた方が望ましいかと思います。ラボは共通の機器もあり、アメリカのラボにしてはかなり充実しているのではないかと思います。詳しい内容は英文を参照してください。ご興味のある方は、Dr. Fangに直接メールしていただくか、日本語ご希望であれば私宛にメール（kokurakenn@gmail.com）していただいてもかまいません。

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW
POSITION DESCRIPTION

New Postdoctoral Fellow position is available to study epigenetic regulation in the laboratory of Dr. Jia Fang at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute. The research will focus on the molecular mechanisms of various post-translational modifications on histone tails by using a variety of approaches. The emphasis will be on characterization of novel histone modifying enzymes, histone
modification reorganization and binding proteins, and their roles in diverse biological processes. The projects are based on published data (Current Biology 2002, 12:1086; Science 2003, 300:131; Nature 2006, 439:811) and well-established protein purification techniques (Method in Enzymology 2004, 377:213).

Qualified candidates should have a recent Ph.D. and be highly motivated and well trained in biochemistry,
molecular biology or other related fields. Experience with protein biochemistry, purification, and standard molecular biology techniques are required. Good knowledge in the area of epigenetics using
chromatin IP, RNAi knockdown and in vitro modification assays would be desirable. Applicants should be able to communicate well in both verbal and written English. To apply, please send the curriculum
vitae, a letter of interest, and the names and contact information of 3 references to Dr. Jia Fang via email at Jia.Fang@moffitt.org
