Cell Cycle Pathways and TGF-beta Signaling in Diabetes and Obesity
Closing Date: 04/02/2009
Two postdoctoral fellowship positions are available immediately in the Diabetes Branch of the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Research projects in the laboratory focus on elucidating the roles of cell cycle regulators in energy balance, diabetes, and obesity. Projects involve generation and characterization of genetically engineered mouse models and their characterization using cell and molecular biology techniques.
Candidates with a strong background in molecular biology, experience in pancreatic islet beta cell/adipocyte biology fields, and familiarity with ex vivo and in vivo models of diabetes/obesity are especially encouraged to apply. Knowledge of cell cycle regulation or TGF-beta signaling will be helpful.
Applicants should have received their Ph.D. or M.D within the past three years and be eligible for an appropriate U.S. visa, if necessary.
