An NSF-funded postdoctoral position is available in the Mathies lab at North Carolina State University to study development of the reproductive organs in C. elegans. The postdoctoral fellow will join an ongoing effort to define the gene regulatory network controlling somatic gonad development (http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/genetics/mathies/mathies.html). He/she will employ a variety of molecular genetic approaches to elucidate the functions of novel transcriptional regulators and to fit these regulators into a gene regulatory framework. A Ph.D. in genetics, biology, biochemistry or equivalent is required and experience with protein/DNA interactions or developmental biology is desirable.
North Carolina State University is located in the Research Triangle Park (within a half hour drive of Duke University and UNC - Chapel Hill). This setting provides excellent opportunities for career development and synergistic interactions with academic and industrial scientists. In addition, the Triangle has an active C. elegans community with participants from all area institutions (http://celegans.bio.unc.edu/).
To apply go to jobs.ncsu.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=76959 and provide a curriculum vitae, names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of three references.
