The long term research goal of my lab is to understand the metabolic and novel non metabolic functions of the energy sensor AMP Kinase in cell (stem cell) cycle, brain cancer signaling mechanism, brain development and in adult neural stem cell function. I am looking for a dedicated, energetic and ambitious person with experience and aptitude in *mouse genetics*. First hand experience in making *knockout* and *knockin mouse models *will be highly advantageous. Knowledge of basic molecular biology and biochemistry is necessary. Some knowledge in cell culture, microscopy and biochemical assays and cell signaling is desirable. Persons with their own fellowships may also apply.
