Postdoctoral Position Available

A NIH funded postdoctoral position is available immediately to study the molecular mechanism of myeloproliferative neoplasms and leukemia. The successful candidate will perform in vivo studies using knock-out and knock-in mice in addition to cell culture, flow cytometric and biochemical studies. [Please see some of our recent publications- Blood (2010) 115:3589-3597; Curr Opin Genet Dev (2007) 17:23-30; Cancer Cell (2005) 7:179-191; Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. (2004) 101:3130-3135; Nat. Med. (2004) 10:849-857; Cancer Cell (2002) 1:479-492]. Recently, the lab has generated a novel knock-in mouse model of myeloproliferative neoplasms. Several projects involving this novel mouse model are currently available. The lab is also interested in identification, characterization and targeting of cancer stem cells in myeloproliferative neoplasms.

The successful candidate should have a Ph.D. within last 3 years in Immunology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology or Molecular Genetics with keen interest in science and strong research background. Most recent PhDs are preferred. Experience with flow cytometry and animal studies would be very helpful. Interested individuals should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the names and addresses of three references to:
