ポスドク募集　University of Cincinnati

私の元同僚で、最近オハイオ州University of Cincinnatiにて独立したDr. Samuel Godar (Samo)がポスドクを募集しているので、代わりに広告を投稿させていただきます。Samoはホワイトヘッド研究所、Weinberg Labにてポスドクをしていた際に、細胞表面分子CD44(乳がんにおける幹細胞マーカー)が転写因子p53により転写制御を受けることを見出し (Godar et al., Cell, 2008)、最近ではp53/p63経路による(がん)幹細胞性の制御、といった内容に研究を進展させています。

彼は人当たりもよく、大変親しみやすい人柄です。また、日本人の話す英語を長年聞きなれているので、コミュニケーションもとりやすいと思います。関心のある方はぜひapplyしてみてください。

Starting date: Immediate. Strong motivation to do science and experience with techniques in the areas of either molecular biology, proteomics or animal biology will be important criteria in considering the suitable candidates.

Cincinnati offers critical mass of science concentrated at the University of Cincinnati and neighboring hospitals, collaborative spirit, low costs of living and relatively high living standard. It offers excellent health care and cultural activities, e.g. Children’s Hospital and College/Conservatory of Music rank among the best nationally.
