Postdoctoral Position

Cell Biology of Sphingolipids, Pagano Lab, Mayo Clinic

An NIH-funded position is available immediately in the Departments of Medicine and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minnesota to study the role of sphingolipids in regulating cellular microdomains. Studies will involve the use of molecular and biochemical approaches to manipulate cellular sphingolipid levels and to determine the effects of these changes on such processes as endocytosis, signaling, adhesion and migration. The candidate should have a M.D. or a PhD. and less than five years of postdoctoral experience. Previous research experience in fluorescence microscopy, protein/protein interactions and/or molecular biology is preferred. Some recent publications include:
