Postdoctoral Position, the Center for Cell Biology and Cancer Research, Albany Medical College, USA

A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. LaFlamme in the Center for Cell Biology and Cancer Research at Albany Medical College in Albany NY. A Ph.D. degree and proven research ability is required. Persons with experience in molecular biology, microscopy and analysis of protein expression are encouraged to apply. Projects include the identification of the molecular mechanisms by which integrins and growth factor signaling cooperate to promote the centrosomal recruitment of gamma-tubulin and MT nucleation, bipolar spindle assembly and cytokinesis.

Interested individuals should send a cover letter, CV, and provide contact information for three references to Dr. Susan LaFlamme. Email: laflams[ at ]mail.amc.edu
