私のボスと共にU.C.Davisで働くDr.Rivkah Isseroffがポスドクを募集しています。Dr.Isseroffのラボでは、創傷治癒の研究を、in vivo, ex vivo, invitroそれぞれのモデルで、マイクロアレイやキナーゼ反応物質のマイクロビーズを用いて解析を行っています。今後はアドレナリン反応性シグナル伝達機構の創傷治癒における役割を研究していく予定です。ラボに入った後は翻訳研究に重点を置く環境で多方面分野の研究者達のグループに加わって活動してもらうそうです。具体的には創傷治癒研究、マイクロアレイ解析や幹細胞による組織再生の研究を共同して進めていくようです。候補者は細胞生物学実験の習熟と、顕微鏡下の画像解析技術と免疫染色への深い造詣が求められます。角質細胞生物学や創傷治癒、アドレナリン反応性分野の経験はプラスになるでしょう。また英会話及び英作文の高い能力が要求されます。原文を以下に掲載しますので、私の拙い解説で不明な方、ご応募なさる方は原文を読んだ上で、rrisseroff@ucdavis.eduまで英文でお問い合わせ下さい。

Candidates are invited to apply for a Postdoctoral Research position for two to three years at the University of California, Davis, to work on molecular mechanisms and novel therapeutic approaches to combined radiation and burn wound injury. In vitro culture based, ex vivo and in vivo models of healing are used and tools used to probe these models include DNA microarays and microbead array assays for kinase reactants. The role of the adrenergic signaling system in modifying the healing response will be examined. The candidate would join a multidisciplinary group of investigators in a stimulating academic environment with strong potential for translational research. Collaborative laboratories in this project share an interest in wound repair, microarray analysis of gene expression, and stem cell contribution to tissue regeneration. The candidate should have proficiency in basic cell biological techniques, and familiarity with microscopic image analysis and immunoh! istochemis!
try. Background in keratinocyte biology, wound healing and/or adrenergic receptor signaling areas would be an asset. Strong verbal and written English skills required.

The position is funded by a five-year grant from the NIH. Salary is dependent on level of training, and is competitive. Generous University benefits package. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, including list of publications, a description of their present research activity and contact information for three referees, to:
