Post-doctoral Research Fellowship position

The Duke University Center for Human Genetics (CHG) is establishing a research project to investigate the effects of a recently identified sequence variant on cytokine T-cell signaling in multiple sclerosis patients. The project also aims to discover proteins associated with alternative splicing of the cytokine receptor and to identify genetic association of these proteins in a 2400 patients MS case/control population.

Individuals who satisfy the selection criteria should be recent PhD graduates, have a strong background in molecular biology, genomics and immunology. Additional requirements include an ability to think independently and work well within a group setting. Candidates will be expected to help establish and supervise the research project, interact with research groups and clinical departments within Duke University Medical Center (DUMC), and prepare manuscripts. The position is supported by 5 years of NIH funding and the salary will be commensurate with experience.

The CHG (http://wwwchg.duhs.duke.edu/) offers a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary environment located in a 40,000 square-foot facility on the DUMC / Duke University campus. To apply send a CV, bibliography & names of 3 references to;
