オハイオ州クリーブランドクリニックの Veronique Lefebvre 研究室では下記の要領でポスドクを一名募集しています。ベロニクとはお互いポスドクの頃からの長い付き合いですが、最近は特に転写因子SOXファミリーの軟骨分化、骨格形成における機能について精力的に解析を進めています。３年ほど前にここでポスドクの募集広告を出し、大変素晴らしい方が日本から来てくださったとのことで、今回もよい人が応募してくれる事を心待ちにしているということです。

プロジェクトや雇用条件などについては直接ベロニクと連絡を取っていただく事になりますが（lefebvv@ccf.org）、アメリカの研究事情や中西部の生活（私はとなりのミシガンにいます）についてご質問があれば私宛におたずねいただいてもかまいません。
