Postdoctoral positions available on zebrafish embryonic development
Thisse Laboratory, Department of Cell Biology,
The University of Virginia, USA
POSITION: 3-year postdoctoral positions are available in Christine and Bernard Thisse laboratory. Successful applicants will investigate the molecular control of the zebrafish early embryogenesis focusing on mechanisms responsible for patterning and early morphogenesis. The project is fully funded (salary, materiel and supplies) for the 3-year period. Requirements: Ph.D. (development, cell biology, molecular biology). Candidates should have expertise in developmental biology, cell biology or signaling.
PROJECT: New and ongoing areas of research interests include: Crosstalk between the Nodal, BMP, Wnt and FGF signaling pathways at the molecular and cellular levels.Role of these factors and of their target genes in early morphogenetic movements and cell division
CLOSE OF APPLICATION: The positions will remain open to applications until filled.
ENQUIRIES: Interested individuals should send their CV, a brief letter describing research experience and the names and contact information of two past advisors or mentors to christhisse@virginia.edu
