We are currently looking for a post-doctoral researcher who is interested in studying transcription factor networks and gene regulation in T lymphocyte cell fate decision. We will use genetically manipulated mouse models to understand how developing cells adopt a specific lineage and how lineage specific gene expression/silencing is established. The successful candidate will be expected to perform gene expression analysis, flow cytometric analysis and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays.

For further information, please refer to publication below.

2) Egawa et al., Plos One, 3, e1512 (2008).
3) Egawa et al., J.Exp.Med. 204, 1945-1957 (2007).

Candidates should have an MD, PhD, MD/PhD, or equivalent degree(s) with research training in the field of immunology, developmental biology, molecular biology and/or biochemistry. We are particularly looking for candidates with experience in working with animal models. The starting date will be Apr-July 2010. The appointment term will initially be for one year, and will be renewed based on evaluation of achievement. The salary will follow the NIH guideline and be adjusted by achievement.
