A postdoctoral fellow position is available at U. of Massachusetts Medical School to study TGF-beta signaling and its implication in cancer development. We take systematic approaches using whole-genome RNAi screening to dissect TGF-beta signaling pathway and understand TGF-beta regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Another area of research focuses on the roles of microRNA in TGF-beta responses in cancer cells. The laboratory is located at the Program in Molecular Medicine. For more information about our research and the environment please visit www.umassmed.edu/pmm/faculty/xu.

Candidates should have experience in molecular and cell biology techniques. Experience with animal models of cancer is a plus. Interested individual should send a letter of interest, curriculum vitae and a list of references to Dr. Lan Xu, e-mail: lan.xu@umassmed.edu.
