Suggested areas of research include studying: 1. how particular sequences trigger methylation; 2. mechanisms responsible for "inheritance" of methylation; 3. effects of methylation on transcription; 4. genes involved in methylation. The research will build on prior work that has generated mutants defective in DNA methylation, established a role for methylation in inhibiting transcription, and defined elements in mechanisms controlling DNA methylation. A strong background in molecular biology and expertise in biochemistry and/or genetics is essential.

Details: The Decision Systems Group (DSG) is a research laboratory, affiliated with Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital, that is devoted to the investigation of computing applications in patient care, medical education, and decision support. A key characteristic of physician practice and medical student education is their problem-oriented rather than task-oriented nature, and the need to access and integrate a wide variety of information resources (clinical data, expert knowledge, images, etc.) in the process of carrying out professional work. A principal area of research at the Decision Systems Group is in the application of clinical guideline information to the development of an advanced ³smart² clinical workstation. In this system, guideline-based information about patient status is used to facilitate data entry and other mundane tasks, to support more rapid and targeted access to clinical resources and decision support materials, to automate routine tasks such as scheduling and the generation of informational alerts, and to assist in management of work flow in an ³extended enterprise² clinical computing environment. Software development done by the successful candidate will make use of a CORBA-based tool kit for distributed application development. This tool kit, called Arachne, is the product of previous DSG work that was aimed at facilitating the construction of portable applications in a ³component-based² manner.

The position is for our Fluorescence Microscopy product line which includes software-based instruments for performing high-resolution, quantitative 3D fluorescence microscopy. The position requires that you interact with potential and current customers to answer their questions on how the Scanalytics products may be configured to be most appropriate for their work and to perform benchmark studies. You will be called upon to perform installations of the instruments, to deliver technical presentations to interested audiences, and to travel with sales representatives (domestic and international) to answer technical questions. Your experience will be needed to help in the design of new products and to write technical bulletins regarding current products. The ideal candidate will bring several years of hands-on experience with biological fluorescence microscopy, especially computer-based (PC) instruments as applied in this work. A good working knowledge of research cameras and microscope automation equipment is also desired. The position will involve approximately 50% travel away from our Boston-area office. A BS in the life sciences or biomedical engineering is highly desirable. Please send your CV or letter describing your qualifications to: Dave Hitrys, Product Manager Scanalytics Divisionof CSPI 40 Linnell Circle Billerica, MA 01821 or e-mail to: dhitrys@cspi.com Thank you.
