Employment opportunites
at the Laboratory of Molecular Cardiology (LMC)
Muscle Molecular Biology Section,
Robert Adelstein, Principal Investigator
I am looking for a postdoctoral fellow to continue the characterization
of the knockout and hypomorphic mice we have generated.
These mice are either entirely lacking or have decreased amounts
of nonmuscle myosin II-A and II-B. We also are generating
conditional knockouts and "knockins" with single amino acid
mutations. We are particularly interested in understanding
the cause of these defects and in looking for human counterparts.
The position is open to individuals with a Ph.D./M.D. degree
or equivalent and less than 3 years prior postdoctoral experience
starting October 2002. If you are interested, please
send your C.V. and have sent, separately, 3 letters of recommendation
to:

Cellular and Molecular Motility Section,
James Sellers, Principal Investigator
I have an opening for a postdoctoral fellow in my laboratory
at the National Institutes of Health to study the structure
and function of unconventional myosins. Our laboratory
utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to this problem.
Several members use baculoviral expression of conventional
and unconventional myosins to create fragments and mutants
of various myosins. The kinetics of interaction with
actin and ATP are studied as well as in vitro mechanical responses.
We are also interested in the regulation of myosins and the
proteins responsible for targeting myosin within cells.
Other members of the laboratory are utilizing Drosophila as
a model system for studying myosin's functions.
The National Institutes of Health is a dynamic, intellectually
stimulating workplace located in Bethesda, MD. The advertised
position is fully funded and pays a competitive salary commensurate
with experience. I am seeking individuals with a Ph.D.
or M.D. degree with less than four years previous postdoctoral
experience. Previous training might include biochemistry,
biophysics, genetics or molecular biology. The position
is available immediately, although I would be willing to hold
the position, if necessary. Please send a C.V. and the
names and contact information for three references.
NIH is an equal opportunity employer.
