A postdoctoral position is available to study active transport of dyneins
in Chlamydomonas flagella by using approaches of cellular and molecular
biology.
I am seeking a recent and enthusiastic PH.D. to characterize the machinery
involved in transport of dynein subunits from the cell body to their
functional sites within flagella.
Our laboratory is in the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy of The
Mount Sinai School of Medicine that is located in the center of Manhattan
(very close to the Rockefeller, Columbia and New York Universities). The
physical facilities are new and well provided. The scientific environment
is very active with courses, seminars and symposia.
The salary is competitive and will be supplemented for fellows achieving
external peer-reviewed funding.
Applicants for this position should forward a C.V. and names, addresses,
telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of three referees to: Gianni
Piperno, Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, Mount Sinai School of
Medicine, 1 Gustave Levy Place. Box 1007, New York, NY. 10029-6574
