Postdoctoral Position: mechanisms of DNA damage response and telomere maintenance

One postdoctoral position will be open to study the link between DNA damage checkpoint response, telomere control and cell senescence at the International Center of Public Health (ICPH) starting April 2013.
The ICPH is merging into Rutgers University this summer.

Candidates must have strong backgrounds in molecular biology and biochemistry and have a desire to explore fundamental problems of biology. Our group is mainly using yeast cells but at the stage of expansion to the related research field using mammalian cells as well as yeast cells.
