There are a multitude of exciting new applications in stem cells, cancer, nano-drug delivery, assessment of disease, and quantitative image quality. We are faced with a multitude of image processing, analysis, and visualization problems. For example, we have recently created a multi-scale viewing program which allows us to view the entire data set on the screen and zoom down to even a single cell. Persons will be expected to publish papers and assist on research proposals. We are principally seeking post doctoral researchers with a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, or computer science. Experience with image analysis, animal experiments, optical imaging, and/or medical imaging technologies are a plus. However, we will consider very strong, determined candidates with other PhD training who want to learn about these important new technologies.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Vascular Biology Molecular Cardiology Research Institute Tufts Medical Center Boston, MA The Molecular Cardiology Research Institute, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, invites post-doctoral applications for a position to study hormonal regulation of vascular function and disease. Clinical studies support that an excess of the hormone aldosterone promotes vascular remodeling and atherosclerosis and that inhibition of aldosterone interaction with the Mineralocorticoid Receptor decreases mortality, heart attacks, and strokes. The Jaffe lab is investigating the molecular mechanisms by which MR-activation regulates vascular function in order to identify new therapeutic targets to prevent or treat cardiovascular diseases in humans. A highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow is sought with prior experience in cell and molecular biology and mouse models. The successful applicant will work closely with the Principal Investigator on research projects studying the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms controlled by vascular Mineralocorticoid Receptors and their role in vascular function and disease. The laboratory uses state of the art biochemical, molecular, and cell-biologic assays and mouse models of vascular injury and atherosclerosis to address clinically relevant questions in vascular biology. As needed, the individual will be required to independently develop protocols and establish new methodologies in the laboratory. MD, PhD or both required. Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident as this position is funded via an NIH institutional training grant. The Molecular Cardiology Research Institute (MCRI) is an internationally known institute with over $45M in funding that includes 17 principal investigators studying diverse topics of molecular medicine. The fellow will work closely with the principal investigator, her lab, and other members of this dynamic research institute. Please visit our website at: www.tuftsmedicalcenter.org/mcri.

Many thanks! Postdoctoral Positions in Neuroscience and Drosophila Neurobiology Department of Neurobiology, University of Massachusetts Medical School Two NIH-funded postdoctoral positions are available to enthusiastic young scientists, for the study of neural signaling events in both mammalian and Drosophila systems. Successful candidates will have the following choices of research direction. 1) Human genetic studies implicate that a new Ca2+/Calmodulin-binding transcription factor CAMTA1 suppresses brain tumorigenesis and facilitate memory formation. We are planning to generate a knock-out mouse from existing ES cells, and characterize the cellular mechanism of CAMTA1 function using in vitro neuronal cultures. 2) By isolating new Drosophila mutants, we are studying how abnormalities in the signaling and trafficking of rhodopsin, a light-stimulated GPCR, lead to degeneration of photoreceptor neurons in the fly eye. 3) Using Drosophila mutants to study functions and the underlying mechanisms of visual glia. Additional information on our researches can be found at the website: http://www.umassmed.edu/neurobiology/faculty/li_hs.cfm . We expect the candidates have strong experience in mouse genetics and neuronal culture, or in Drosophila neurobiology. Training on electrophysiology is a plus.

EVOLUTION AND FUNCTION OF CYANOBACTERIAL GENES AND GENOMES Supervisors: Dr Daniel Barker, University of St Andrews, and Professor Geoffrey Codd, University of Dundee. This project will improve knowledge of the evolution, metabolism, ecotoxicological status and biotechnological potential of cyanobacteria by the development and application of bioinformatics algorithms. Cyanobacteria are a metabolically diverse group of photosynthetic prokaryotes of global distribution. They play a crucial role in biogeochemical cycles (oxygen, carbon, nitrogen), produce toxins which present major health hazards to humans and animals, yet also contain metabolites with therapeutic and biotechnological applications, including biofuels. At least 48 cyanobacterial genomes have been sequenced. However, the function of many of the genes in their genomes remains unknown. This represents a major gap in biological knowledge which would be difficult to fill by traditional approaches. We have developed a comparative, bioinformatics procedure to delimit groups of genes which are functionally linked, on the basis of correlated gain and loss of those genes from genomes. This must be vastly improved, to also model gene-phenotype and gene-environment interactions, and applied to cyanobacteria. The project would involve research in computational comparative genomics. Results will be of interest to researchers in bioinformatics, environmental and health sciences and in biotechnology.
