[Baerbel Rohrer]

Postdoctoral Position to study "Genetics of Photoreceptor Degeneration" at
the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.

NIH-funded postdoctoral position available immediately in visual
neuroscience to perform research directed at revealing common aspects of
signaling both during retinal degeneration and neural protection.  Projects
include the molecular analysis of mouse models of photoreceptor
degeneration, using gene chip analysis and correlation-based data mining,
Northern and real-time PCR, with follow-up experiments that will include in
vivo examination of therapeutics in these mouse models.

M.D. or Ph.D. required, with experience in cellular or molecular biology.
Good communication skills and willingness to work in a team setting are
essential.  Prior experience with gene chip analysis studies is
advantageous.

Applicants should send curriculum vitae, a cover letter, and names of three
references to:
