Research positions at UCSF > >The newly funded Pacific Vascular Research Laboratory at the University >of California San Francisco has two paid research positions available >for life science graduates. The laboratory is focused on the >identification of the molecular mechanisms responsible for angiogenesis >in both normal mouse development and disease conditions such as cancer >and ischemia. Using Cre/loxP and tetracycline-inducible transgenic >mouse techniques, we have developed animal models in which candidate >genes can be deleted or expressed in blood vessels. These mouse-genetic >tools and other cell biological and biochemical approaches are employed >to elucidate the molecular pathways underlying neovascularization. The >laboratory is well equipped to perform state-of-the-art research on >angiogenesis at the molecular, cellular, and organismic levels. > >Candidates should have or soon be receiving a B.S. in a life science >field (cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, etc...), >although there is one potential position available in bioinformatics >for which a candidate with a strong background in computer science is >preferred. These positions are ideal for recent graduates seeking to >gain research experience and techniques before moving on to Graduate or >Medical School. The positions demand a commitment to scientific >research, strong bench skills, and a willingness to work with animals >(mice and perhaps rats). You will receive training and experience >working at an at least 70% research with a possible 30% lab support >appointment, and there is also the potential to publish. Strong English >writing skills are a plus. Highly motivated and responsible individuals >with excellent academic credentials are encouraged to apply. Please >submit your CV and three references to: > >Mitchum Huehls, Assistant to Rong Wang, Ph.D. >Health Sciences West 1622, Box 0522 >UCSF >513 Parnassus Ave. >San Francisco, CA 94122-0522 >[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- The above message does not necessarily represent the views or opinions of MCBcDNA, mcbUSA, the MCB Department, or UC Berkeley.
