Applications are now being accepted for postdoctoral positions in my laboratory. Applicants should have a Ph.D. with a strong basic science background in glycobiology.

My laboratory is currently focused on why O-glycosylation of dystroglycan is essential for this protein’s function as an extracellular matrix receptor, and how abnormalities in the O-glycosylation of dystroglycan cause muscular dystrophy. The goal of this research is to generate new knowledge regarding the glycosylation of dystroglycan, to identify and define disease mechanisms that cause muscular dystrophy and to develop therapeutic strategies for these diseases.

I will be able to provide a competitive starting salary with excellent benefits for at least three years. The University of Iowa, Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Muscular Dystrophy Cooperative Research Center offer outstanding state-of-the-art facilities to conduct molecular and cellular biology studies.
