University of Cincinnati Medical Center Postdoctoral Position

A postdoctoral position in the fields of cancer biology, molecular biology and molecular toxicology is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Kyounghyun Kim in University of Cincinnati, OH, USA.
(http://www.eh.uc.edu/dir_individual_details.asp?qcontactid=974)

Our laboratory focuses on understanding the fundamental mechanisms in human carcinogenesis using integrative approaches including bioinformatics, proteomics and murine models of human cancers for development of improved therapeutic application and chemoprevention. Current ongoing projects include studying a role of an orphan nuclear receptor, NR2E3, in breast cancer (EMBO Mol Med 2012 4(1):52-67), identifying and defining a role of long non-coding RNAs using RNA immunoprecipitation assay (RIP) combined with NGS in cancer epigenetics (Oncogene. 2013 32(13):1616-25), characterizing a novel pro-oncogenic microRNA/ZBTB4 network in cancer (Oncogene 2012 31(8):1034-44; Mol Cancer Ther 2012 11(9):1852-62).
Qualifications: Successful candidates must hold a doctoral-level degree or should anticipate PhD degree with solid background of cancer biology, molecular biology and possibly experience about animal models of cancer. The candidate who is motivated to explore a new field of non-coding RNAs and a novel role of orphan nuclear receptor, NR2E3, in breast cancer is highly desirable. Salary will be between $ 38,000 - 42,000 and commensurate with qualifications and experience.

To apply: Applicants should send a CV including a brief description of your research experience and career goal, and the names and contact information of three references via email below:

Job Summary

A post-doctoral position is open in the laboratory of Dr. Emmanuel Zorn at the Columbia Center for Translational Immunology (http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/ccti/) to study the contribution of B cell and humoral immunity to human cardiac allograft rejection. One avenue of research will be to examine B cells infiltrating heart transplants at time of rejection. Studies will be conducted in collaboration with members of the New York Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center Cardiac Transplant Program. Studies will use a wide range of complementary methods including primary human cell culture, B cell cloning, protein assays, molecular biology techniques as well as functional cell based assays. We are seeking a junior, creative, self-motivated and hard-working individual with documented research experience related to this position. Candidates should have a Ph.D. and/or M.D with training in immunology (human immunology preferred).

Wistar 研究所 ポスドク 募集

背景: ADARは部位特異的にアデノシンをイノシンに塩基修飾する RNA 編集酵素であり (A-to-I RNA editing)、哺乳類では三つの遺伝子(ADAR1-3) が同定されている。重要な遺伝子 (例えば GluR や 5-HT2CR) の翻訳領域で起きる RNA 編集により、生理機能の多様化に寄与する他、 pre-mRNA 非翻訳領域でも高頻度でRNA 編集が起きている (1)。また microRNA の前駆体でも RNA 編集が起き、 microRNA 発現の調節やターゲット遺伝子選択に重要な機能を果たしている (2)。ADAR1 遺伝子改変マウスは、全身に広がった細胞死により胎生致死表現型となる。また最近、我々は ADAR1 がDicer と Complex を形成し、pre-miRNA processing、 RISC assembly、そしてRNAi 効率を増強する事を明らかにした (3, 4)。ADAR1 がRNA 編集機能 と RNAi制御機能を使い分けるメカニズムの解析、ADAR1 遺伝子改変マウスでのRNA 編集 と RNAi 機構の相互作用の生理的意義の解明等が研究目標です。

応募:
Ph.D. 取得後間もない方で (1-2 年以内希望)、少なくとも3-4年は滞在できる方。分子生物学的、生化学的手法を習得し、 protein complex の精製、protein-RNA interaction 解析, また遺伝子改変マウスの表現型解析経験のある方で、RNA編集や RNAi 研究に興味のある方を望みます。履歴書、研究業績リスト、推薦状3通を郵送。連絡先:Dr. Kazuko Nishikura (西倉和子)。 The Wistar Institute, 3601 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-4268 USA.
