The Laboratory of Biochemistry and Genetics (LBG) is recruiting a post-doctoral position to study the regulation of fertilization in C. elegans. We use genetics, molecular and cell biological approaches to identify factors that regulate oocyte maturation, fertilization, and the accurate segregation of chromosomes during the meiotic divisions. We are also interested in paternal factors that activate embryonic development upon fertilization. We also are investigating the functions of the protein phosphatase 5 gene in C. elegans in germline and embryonic development.
All projects utilize methodologies in genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, and biochemistry/proteomics and primarily employ the nematode C. elegans as a model system.
Requirements:
A strong background in molecular biology, genetics, or biochemistry is desired. Applicants must have a Ph.D. (or equivalent degree) in genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, or a comparable field.
To Apply:
Candidates with less than 5 years of post-doctoral experience are encouraged to apply by sending their curriculum vitae, bibliography, statement of career goals, and 3 letters of recommendation to:
Dr. Andy Golden,
NIH, NIDDK, LBG
8 Center Drive, Building 8, Room 323
Bethesda, MD 20892-0840.
