[vslist] Medical University of South Carolina - Postdoctoral Fellow and Research Assistant

[Baerbel Rohrer]

Two NEI funded Positions

Molecular Biology of Retinal Degeneration and Neuroprotection

(1) Postdoctoral Fellow - Recent Ph.D. or equivalent, with experience in
molecular biology, immunohistochemistry and cell biology preferred.
Experience with gene array analysis and data mining will be advantageous.

(2) Research Assistant – Recent B.S. or equivalent with skills in anatomy
and histology.

Current projects focus on research directed at revealing common aspects of
signaling 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 and cell-based
assays.

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