Post-doctoral Position
Dept. of Pathology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center,
Harvard Medical School

A post-doctoral position is available in the Wei lab at Dept. of Pathology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School starting Oct., 2006. The lab’s focus is on understanding how Ubiquitin E3 ligase APC (Wei et al., Nature 428, 194, 2004) and SCF (Wei et al., Cancer Cell 8, 25, 2005) activities contribute to cell cycle regulation and subsequent tumor formation. Future projects in the lab engage the use of biochemistry, molecular biology and genetic approaches, cell culture techniques and mouse modeling. Therefore, energetic applicants with strong experimental background in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology and/or genetics are encouraged to apply.

Dr. Wei is looking for self-motivated individuals to become involved in the challenging and rewarding environment of the laboratory. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to play a major role in the organization and expansion of a new and exciting research program, and will be exposed to many cutting edge technologies including gene expression analysis, protein purification, proteomics, bioinformatics and mouse modeling. This will be a great opportunity for recent and upcoming Ph.D. and/or M.D. graduates who are interested in an academic career in biomedical research. It is also an ideal position for those interested in a career in pharmaceutical companies or biotechnologies. The successful applicant must be able to work independently as well as within a group. The environment of the lab allows for a great deal of interaction with the principal investigator, other members of the lab and other researchers within the Harvard Medical School campus.

Please send your CV/resume and at least two references to Wenyi_Wei@dfci.harvard.edu. Qualified applicants will be contacted soon after receiving their information.
