Postdoctoral Position in Molecular Biology of Prostaglandin Synthesis
St. Joseph’s Hospital, Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Available immediately is a Postdoctoral Fellow/Research Associate position to study lipid mediators of fever and hypothermia in systemic inflammation in rats and mice (see PLoS Biol 4: e284, 2006). Proficiency in molecular biology techniques is required. Additional experience in neuroanatomy or immunohistochemistry is preferred. Knowledge of prostaglandin synthesis pathways is desired. The position is in a productive, well-funded integrative physiology lab. Advanced technical help with animal work will be provided. Participation in other projects to study neuroanatomy of behavioral thermoregulation (PLoS ONE 1: e1, 2006) or in vivo roles of TRP channels in thermoregulation (J Neurosci 27: 7459, 2007) will be possible. Mandatory requirements include an advanced degree, a track record of peer-reviewed publications, excellent computer skills, and good writing skills. To apply, send your curriculum vitae, up to 5 reprints of full-length papers, a brief description of research interests and career goals, and names, e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers of at least two references to:
