Postdoctoral Positions at the Forsyth Institute, Harvard University, Boston, MA Post-doctoral positions will be available in the lab of Dr. Michael Levin at the Forsyth Institute, Harvard University, Boston. Please see the URL http://www.drmichaellevin.org/ for details on my lab, recent reprints, etc. The positions will be available after the Fall of 2005 and later, so we welcome applications from people who are in the finishing stages of their Ph.D. but may not be ready to move yet (plans can also be made for over a year in the future as well, since it is often the case that the best people make arrangements well in advance). We are looking for talented, versatile, highly motivated biologists with experience in molecular techniques and a background in developmental biology. We utilize the frog, chick, planarian, and axolotl systems to understand the roles of endogenous ion currents in patterning during embryonic morphogenesis and regeneration. Our work uses a convergence of molecular embryology, cell biology, biophysics, physiology, and mathematical modeling, and this is a great opportunity for someone to develop truly frontier science. Many exciting projects are available; two examples are 1) understanding the function of serotonin signaling in left-right asymmetry (long before neurons appear), and 2) characterizing the control of vertebrate regeneration by ion transporter proteins. If you are interested, please email me at [email protected]. Posted Tuesday, May 31, 2005

Research Fellow in Cancer and Developmental Biology at the University of Aberdeen School of Medical Sciences, U.K.
Mechanisms of Wnt signalling in colorectal cancer and Xenopus development: You will study the molecular mechanisms of Tcf/Lef family transcription factors, which function downstream of Wnt signalling during embryonic development and in colorectal cancer cells. Despite being closely related, different Tcf/Lef factors have specific functions in regulating proliferation, survival, identity and differentiation in embryonic and in cancer cells. This difference in function is important during embryonic development and in cancer progression. You will investigate the structure and function of Tcf/Lef transcription factors in order to identify the molecular mechanisms responsible for their specific function. The ultimate aim is to validate these molecular targets for drug design to provide more sophisticated cancer therapies in the future. The project applies modern molecular biology techniques and will take advantage of state-of-the-art facilities in the purpose-built Institute of Medical Sciences. You should have a PhD and preferably have a background in molecular, cellular, developmental or cancer biology. The post is funded by The Association for International Cancer Research and is available in the first instance for 2 years.
