Employment

A postdoctoral position is available in a multidisciplinary laboratory studying the mechanisms of intestinal tumorigenesis.  Projects will focus on the molecular genetic changes in precancerous colon lesions (Cancer Research 64, 2004; 15, 2007), the role of bioactive lipids in carcinogenesis (Cancer Research 65, 2005) and the application of high throughput proteomics to the study of cancer chemoprevention (Proteomics, in press).  Experimental approaches include the use of laser capture microscopy, gene expression arrays, high throughput proteomics and the development of tumor biomarkers. Candidates must have a Ph.D., D.V.M., M.D. or equivalent degree, and a demonstrated productivity as first author of publications in peer-reviewed journals.  Experience in molecular and cell biology, and signaling pathways with a background in tumor biology is desirable.  Salary range is at the NIH scale plus an excellent benefit package.  The laboratory is located in a modern facility within the Center for Molecular Medicine.
