Postdoctoral Position Available
Tufts University School of Medicine-NEMC
Boston, MA
We have an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow to work in
the field of molecular signaling and peptide-protein recognition.
Current studies focus on the yeast mating peptide-receptor. Upon
binding a 13 a.a. peptide, this receptor activates a signal transduction
pathway that culminates in cell cycle mitotic arrest. Molecular
biology techniques will be used to construct recombinant receptors and
express these receptors in yeast strains. Receptors will be
characterized by genetic and physical methods, purified, and labeled
with affinity-peptides. Our laboratory is located within the Center of
Hemostasis and Thrombosis Research, a state-of-the-art facility with
a staff of 20 investigators including technical support. Candidates
with training in yeast genetics who would like to acquire expertise in
protein chemistry are encouraged to apply. Interested candidates
should send a letter describing their research interests, a CV, and
names of three references to:
