Postdoctoral Opportunities in Cancer Signaling Research
at Georgia Health Sciences University, Augusta, Georgia, United States

Postdoctoral positions are immediately available in Cancer Biology in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Georgia Health Sciences University (GHSU), Augusta, Georgia, USA. Highly motivated individuals, who have recently obtained a Ph.D. degree (or will obtain an equivalent degree, shortly) in biochemistry, molecular biology, and/or cancer cell biology, and who are interested in advanced training in cancer signaling research and experimental therapeutics, are encouraged to apply. Our laboratory is interested in oncogenic transcription factors and their counter molecules (i.e., corepressors) in DNA damage responses, tumor dormancy, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). As potential anticancer drug design targets, we are particularly interested in better understanding the crosstalk between c-MYC oncoprotein and BIN1 tumor suppressor in chemo- and radiation-resistant cancers, cell-cell contact inhibition, and anoikis pathways. As part of collaborati!
on with the members within the department and the Cancer Center at GHSU, we will also be actively involved in translational cancer research. Please send your Curriculum Vitae, a brief statement of your past and current research experience and interest, and contact information (including E-mail address) of three references to: Dr. Daitoku Sakamuro, Associate Professor, at dsakam@lsuhsc.edu and sakamurodaitoku@yahoo.com (in either English or Japanese), or Ms. Bennie Brisco at bbrisco@georgiahealth.edu (only in English).
