NIH-funded POSTDOCTORAL research positions are available immediately to explore Raf/MEK/ERK-mediated growth inhibitory signaling. Raf/MEK/ERK-mediated growth arrest and senescence is widely accepted as a cellular defensive response against tumorigenesis. Projects will focus on identifying and characterizing molecular mechanisms underlying the growth inhibitory signaling. Individuals interested in learning more can visit our webpage at www.mcw.edu/display/router.asp?docid=16257.

Applicants should have a strong background in molecular and cellular biology, and possess excellent analytical skills and high motivation. Prior experiences in cell signaling, cancer biology, and techniques including cell culture, murine models, immunostaining, immunoprecipitation/blotting, and/or gene expression will be highly valued. Qualified candidates should send your curriculum vitae, a cover letter describing your background, research interests and career goals, and contact information of three professional references to Dr. Jong-In Park at jipark@mcw.edu.
