[Jennifer Liang]

A post-doctoral position is available to study the role of the 
transcription factor Otx5 in regulating circadian rhythm in the zebrafish 
pineal organ (Nature Genetics (2002) 30:117-121).  The pineal is a 
photoreceptive organ in the dorsal brain with an important role in 
circadian regulation via the cyclical synthesis of melatonin. Depletion of 
Otx5 results in reduced transcription of several circadian-regulated 
genes, including those involved in melatonin synthesis.  Cleveland is 
an exciting city located on the shore of Lake Erie and offers a rich and 
interactive research community.  Experience in molecular cell biology, 
biochemistry, or developmental biology is preferred.   Please send a 
CV, description of research interests, and reference letters to:
