- Undergraduate
Research Experience
-
- POSITIONS are
available immediately in a biomedical research lab for
undergraduates with computer programming and database
experience. Paid positions are also available for
general laboratory support or for credit positions for
highly motivated students that wish to gain research
experience through independnet research. Independent
research will involve working with a graduate student
or post-doctoral fellow on one of the onging projects
in the lab, a portion of which will be carved out for
the independent research project.

-
- Laboratory
Manager
Laboratory Research Specialist position is
available. The ideal candidate will have a background
in molecular biology and genetics. Experience with
mouse genetics, transgenics or ES cells desirable but
not required. Master's degree level or 3 years of
biomedical research experience required. In addition
to serving as a lab manager, the candidate will assist
with ongoing research projects, training lab
personnel, and supervising laboratory technicians and
student workers. This position is available
immediately. Compensation is $34-47K commensurate with
experience and potential for advancement.

- Graduate
Student Positions
-
- ROTATIONS are
available for graduate students entering the Interdisciplinary
Program in Biomedical Sciences, the Curriculum
in Genetics and Molecular Biology, or the
Curriculum
in Toxicology. A variety of projects
are available with the central focus of using the
mouse as a model for human diversity, particularly
with respect to desease susceptibilty and progression.
Potential graduate students should be self-starters
and highly motivated toward a career in biomedical
research.

- Post-Doctoral
Training in Mammalian
Genetics
-
- FUNDED
POSITIONS are
available immediately in a dynamic and growing
mammalian genetics laboratory in the Lineberger
Comprehensive Cancer Center and the recently formed
Department of Genetics and Carolina Center for Genome
Sciences at The University of North Carolina - Chapel
Hill.
-
- PROJECTS
include molecular and genetic analysis of (1) Egf
receptor function during mammalian placentation, (2)
colorectal cancer susceptibility genes, and (3) Egf
receptor action during tumorigenesis. Potential
projects also include (4) toxicogenomic studies into
individual variation in response to chemotherapeutics,
(5) gene expression profiling of the normal and
diseased intestinal tract, (6) analysis of the
quantitative variation in gastrointestinal tract
development, (7) analysis of the interaction between
the gut flora and gastrointestinal disease processes,
(8) adaptaion of genomic tools to quantitative trait
analysis, and (9) analysis of variations in brain gene
expression profiles associated with alteration in
behavior characteristics.
-
- OUR
LABORATORY
uses the mouse as an experimental model
system and is fully equipped for all aspects of
biomedical research including cell culture, histology,
fluorescent and light microscopy, molecular biology,
microarray production and analysis, and transgenic and
knockout mouse production. An important goal of our
lab is to allow post-doctoral fellows to develop
research directions that will be the foundation for
their own independent research careers.
-
- UNC-CHAPEL
HILL, the oldest
public university in the US, is a premier biomedical
research center in the setting of an idyllic university
town on the outskirts of a major metropolitan area
that includes Durham
(Duke University),
Raleigh
(NC State
University), and Research
Triangle Park. Numerous recreational activities
are nearby including the Smoky
Mountains and Atlantic
Ocean. North
Carolina is centrally located along the Atlantic
coast.
-
- CANDIDATES
should have a strong background in molecular
biology or genetics. Those with backgrounds in
statistics or mathematics with an interest in
biological applications are particularly encouraged to
apply. Start dates are negotiable and salaries are
competitive and reflective of experience. Interested
post-doctoral candidates should send their CV and the
names and contact information for three referees
to:
