私が所属しているHarvard School of Public Healthの Dr. Horng研究室にて、下記のClassified（Harvard School of Public Health postdoc募集　by Dr. Tiffany Horng）のようにポスドク研究員を募集しております。Dr. Horngは日本の研究を高く評価しており、是非日本の研究者と仕事がしたいと考えております。そこでDr. Horngの依頼で日本語にて募集の補足を致します。

Dr. Horngは炎症分子機構のexpertであり（Cell 2009, Nature Immunology 2007, Nature 2002, Nature Immunology 2001 (as a first or corresponding author)）、現在慢性炎症に着目し研究を進めております（Horng T et al Nature Medicine, 2011)。

他分野の方でも、炎症に興味があり、また分子細胞生物学に基本的な知識があれば、やる気のある方を優先するとのことです。受入れ時期は相談可です。Fellowshipの受入れ先としても可能ですので、留学受入れ先を探されている方もお気軽にお問い合わせ下さい。研究室は立ち上がって数年で小規模ですが、その分アットホームな雰囲気です。慢性炎症の分子機構解明を共に目指してくれます方、是非ご応募下さい。

研究内容・研究室などの御質問がございましたら、お気軽に日本語でお問い合わせ下さい。村上（日本語可　e-mail: tmurakam@hsph.harvard.edu)

Dr. Tiffany Horng in the Department of Genetics and Complex Diseases in Harvard School of Public Health is looking for an outstanding postdoctoral fellow to study the molecular mechanisms regulating chronic inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The project, for which funding has recently been obtained, involves use of a novel mouse model of IBD in which the inflammatory trigger is well-defined, thus enabling genetic manipulation of its signaling pathway. Block of the critical signaling pathway after development of inflammation can be used to test the hypothesis that chronic inflammation, once initiated, could become self-sustaining and self-amplifying. Thus this model can be used to 1) identify a unique transcriptional circuitry capable of driving chronic inflammation, and 2) delineate the pattern of chromatin modifications that maintains such transcriptional circuitry.

Candidates should have a solid background in molecular biology and cell biology; experience working with mice and mouse husbandry; and experience in studying inflammatory bowel disease or a related area, as demonstrated in their publication record. Candidates must have a Ph.D. or M.D. degree. The position is available immediately.

Please submit application, including a cover letter, CV and names and contact information of at least 3 references to:
