Postdoctoral positions are available to study the role of the molecular scaffolds KSR1 and KSR2 in the regulation of cellular energy balance, proliferation and differentiation. Qualified candidates should have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree and a demonstrated expertise in molecular biology, biochemistry, and/or cell physiology. Projects in the laboratory include the development of new animal models, chemical genetic approaches for manipulating the action of each scaffold, and siRNA-based genome-wide screens to identify effectors of KSR1 and KSR2. Interested individuals should peruse the laboratory’s web site (http://www.unmc.edu/eppley/lewislab/) and consult publications listed therein. To be considered for a position, please send a current curriculum vitae and the names of at least two references to:

The Eppley Institute is a distinct entity of the University of Nebraska Medical Center with a degree granting graduate program in cancer research. The faculty of the Eppley Institute is generally supported by investigator-initiated grants from the NIH. Support is also derived from a Cancer Center Support Grant from the NCI to the UNMC/Eppley Cancer Center. The mission of the Institute is to perform and encourage fundamental studies leading to a better understanding of the causes of cancer, improved methods for cancer diagnosis, and improved methods for the treatment and prevention of cancer.
