University of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Genetics POSTDOC募集

A postdoctoral position is available immediately at the Department of Genetics, University of Wisconsin-Madison to study mammalian development and disease mechanisms.

-Research Directions-
Our laboratory uses mouse as a model organism to study the genetic basis of organogenesis. The two organs that we focus on in the lab are the limb-an external organ, and the lung-an internal organ.

Limb Development: The developing limb is a classical paradigm for studying tissue growth and patterning. We have generated sophisticated genetic tools that have allowed us to conduct decisive tests of the many existing models of limb development. Our studies have dissected processes spanning from limb bud initiation to limb bud size control (Verheyden et al., Nature 454:p638, 2008; Zheng et al., Developmental Cell 16: p607, 2009).
Lung Development: Lung development is a relatively open field of study in developmental biology. We have initiated a genome scale dissection of the genetic circuitry underlying key processes of lung development and maturation (Harris et al., PNAS 103:p2208, 2006; Harris-Johnson et al., PNAS 106:p16287, 2009). We also have funded collaborations with clinicians to study the molecular basis of lung diseases such as asthma and respiratory infections.

-Laboratory-
Our laboratory was started in 2002. It is established and composes of young people who are dedicated, productive, collaborative and fun. We are well funded by NIH and other funding agencies. University of Wisconsin offers an outstanding training credential. Madison is safe, active and has an international student population. It is repeatedly rated as one of the most desirable cities to live in the US.

-Position Requirements-
We seek candidates with a clear commitment to research, and a strong background in molecular biology. Prior experience with microarray data analysis, BAC cloning and protein biochemistry is desired, but not required. Candidates should have a Ph.D. degree in biological sciences.

-Application-
Please send a CV (including research experience, research interests, career goals, a publication list and the names and contact information of three referees) via e-mail to:
Xin Sun, Ph.D.
Laboratory of Genetics
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Madison, WI 53706
