Job Title:  Post-doctoral position: Proteomics and Epigenetics in Stroke 
Job Number:  4010025 
Date Posted:  10/03/2011 
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled 

Job Description

Post-doctoral research fellow position available immediately to study epigenetic regulation of neuronal ischemic injury and its prevention. Current research aims to characterize protein complexes that mediate a recently discovered epigenetic mechanism that underlies endogenous neuroprotection against ischemic brain injury (Stapels et al., 2010, Science Signaling, 3(111):ra15).

Qualified candidates should have a Ph.D. degree with credentials in one of the following two disciplines: (1) Quantitative mass spectrometry, with a minimum of two years’ hands-on experience in mass spectrometer operation and MS data handling, preferably with experience in analyzing mammalian proteomes; or (2) Protein-protein and protein-DNA interaction, preferably with experience in studying protein biosynthesis in neuronal cells.

Applicants should email the CV, a brief research statement (one page maximum) and the contact information of 3 references to: azhou@msm.edu

Selected candidates will be contacted directly. No phone calls please.
