POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE:
A NIH-funded Postdoctoral position is available for up to four years to
study estrogen-induced modulation of the immune system. Specifically,
this project will involve cellular and molecular approaches to examine
how early exposure to estrogen induces immunoregulatory defects at the
levels of T cell ontogeny, T cell activation pathways and development of
autoimmunity. The candidate must have a doctorate degree with
demonstrated experience in cellular and/or molecular immunology.
Familiarity with current techniques that include assays for apoptosis
and proliferation, mRNA, cell signal and cell cycle analyses, bioassays
for cytokines, & flow cytometry are highly desirable. Opportunities
exist for interdisciplinary collaboration. Applicant should submit their
curriculum Vitae and the names and addresses of three references to Dr.
