POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
Brookhaven National Laboratory
Department: Biology
Location: Upton, NY, U.S.A.
Start Date: 1st quater 2008
Duration: Two years
Description: This new project is under the direction of A. M. Orville, and is also associated with the PXRR group (www.px.nsls.bnl.gov) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The PXRR group conducts research, technology development, operations, and training at six beamlines (X8, X12b, X12c, X25, X26c, X29) at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS). A long-term goal for the PXRR group is to create a resource for macromolecular crystallography at NSLS-II, the new synchrotron light source that is being created at BNL during the next five to seven years. Microcrystals only a few microns along an edge are often easy to obtain; but, are typically of no use for traditional diffraction studies. In contrast, the brightness and focused beam anticipated at NSLS-II provides an ideal opportunity to use microcrystals for diffraction studies. A major barrier that remains to be overcome is how to manipulate microcrystals for structure determination. Part of the research strategy will be to use a large number of randomly oriented microcrystals, from each of which only a small fraction of the whole dataset is collected, in order to build-up the complete dataset. Full expression of these methods may approach the physical limits of crystal diffraction and will clearly help motivate the optimum performance of NSLS-II. Consequently, we will develop novel microcrystallography methods at the NSLS and look forward to utilizing the outstanding characteristics of NSLS-II facility. The position requires a Ph.D. in biochemistry, structural biology, chemistry, or physics. Experience in macromolecular crystallography and/or synchrotron x-ray sources is desired. The prospective candidate must be able to interact with a diverse group of scientists and engineers, as well as work independently.

Date Posted:02/29/2008
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
Job Description
Mosquitoes are essential vectors for major human diseases such as dengue, yellow fever and malaria. An attractive approach to suppressing these diseases involves replacing the wild pest population with modified counterparts unable to transmit disease (population replacement). An essential component of such a strategy involves the use of a genetic drive mechanism able to promote the spread of genes conferring disease resistance, even if their presence carries a fitness cost. We have developed a synthetic selfish genetic element (Medea) that is able to drive population replacement in Drosophila (Chen et al., (2007) A synthetic maternal-effect selfish genetic element drives population replacement in Drosophila. Science. 316: 597-600).
Postdoctoral positions are available to study the basic biology of microRNAs and cell death pathways in Drosophila and mosquitoes, which are tools necessary for the development of Medea and other selfish genetic elements. An important goal of this work is to develop and characterize Medea elements in mosquitoes and other organisms at the molecular, genetic and population levels. We are also interested in the development of novel selfish genetic elements able to bring about local population elimination, as well as methods for engineering reproductive isolation. Population genetic engineering is an exciting new research area with many opportunities. Postdoctoral candidates should hold recent Ph.D. and/or M.D. degrees.
We (http://www.its.caltech.edu/~haylab/) are an energetic and well-funded team
with modern lab space located in sunny Pasadena. We seek to expand our group with the addition of highly motivated candidates with experience in molecular and population genetics, cell biology, developmental biology and modeling. Close interactions with other labs at Caltech and in the Southern California area (UCLA, UC Irvine, UC Riverside) make the environment collegial and stimulating.

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
Brookhaven National Laboratory
Department: Biology
Location: Upton, NY, U.S.A.

Duration: Two years
Description: This new project is under the direction of A. M. Orville, and is also associated with the PXRR group (www.px.nsls.bnl.gov) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The PXRR group conducts research, technology development, operations, and training at six beamlines (X8, X12b, X12c, X25, X26c, X29) at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS). A long-term goal for the PXRR group is to create a resource for macromolecular crystallography at NSLS-II, the new synchrotron light source that is being created at BNL during the next five to seven years. Microcrystals only a few microns along an edge are often easy to obtain; but, are typically of no use for traditional diffraction studies. In contrast, the brightness and focused beam anticipated at NSLS-II provides an ideal opportunity to use microcrystals for diffraction studies. A major barrier that remains to be overcome is how to manipulate microcrystals for structure determination. Part of the research strategy will be to use a large number of randomly oriented microcrystals, from each of which only a small fraction of the whole dataset is collected, in order to build-up the complete dataset. Full expression of these methods may approach the physical limits of crystal diffraction and will clearly help motivate the optimum performance of NSLS-II. Consequently, we will develop novel microcrystallography methods at the NSLS and look forward to utilizing the outstanding characteristics of NSLS-II facility. The position requires a Ph.D. in biochemistry, structural biology, chemistry, or physics. Experience in macromolecular crystallography and/or synchrotron x-ray sources is desired. The prospective candidate must be able to interact with a diverse group of scientists and engineers, as well as work independently.

20、 Postdoctoral position to study cell death, microRNAs, Drosophila, mosquitoes, and selfish genetic elements, California Institute of Technology
Job Title: Postdoctoral position to study cell death, microRNAs, Drosophila, mosquitoes, and selfish genetic elements
Date Posted:02/29/2008
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
Job Description
Mosquitoes are essential vectors for major human diseases such as dengue, yellow fever and malaria. An attractive approach to suppressing these diseases involves replacing the wild pest population with modified counterparts unable to transmit disease (population replacement). An essential component of such a strategy involves the use of a genetic drive mechanism able to promote the spread of genes conferring disease resistance, even if their presence carries a fitness cost. We have developed a synthetic selfish genetic element (Medea) that is able to drive population replacement in Drosophila (Chen et al., (2007) A synthetic maternal-effect selfish genetic element drives population replacement in Drosophila. Science. 316: 597-600).
Postdoctoral positions are available to study the basic biology of microRNAs and cell death pathways in Drosophila and mosquitoes, which are tools necessary for the development of Medea and other selfish genetic elements. An important goal of this work is to develop and characterize Medea elements in mosquitoes and other organisms at the molecular, genetic and population levels. We are also interested in the development of novel selfish genetic elements able to bring about local population elimination, as well as methods for engineering reproductive isolation. Population genetic engineering is an exciting new research area with many opportunities. Postdoctoral candidates should hold recent Ph.D. and/or M.D. degrees.
We (http://www.its.caltech.edu/~haylab/) are an energetic and well-funded team
with modern lab space located in sunny Pasadena. We seek to expand our group with the addition of highly motivated candidates with experience in molecular and population genetics, cell biology, developmental biology and modeling. Close interactions with other labs at Caltech and in the Southern California area (UCLA, UC Irvine, UC Riverside) make the environment collegial and stimulating.

Job Title: Postdoctoral position available in cellular immunology
Date Posted: 03/07/2008
Job Description
The Jordan laboratory at CCHMC has an open position for a highly motivated postdoctoral scientist with an interest in immune regulation, T cell effector function, and/or histiocytic disorders. The applicant should have a strong background in cellular immunology and T cell biology, with specific experience including flow cytometry and animal work. Expertise in cell signaling, biochemistry, vaccine immunology, and virology is also desirable.
Our laboratory is focused on immune regulation and immune-mediated pathologies. We have recently defined how cytotoxic function and other T cell effector functions provide negative feedback for developing immune responses. These studies are rooted in an animal model, which we have developed, of a rare but devastating human disorder, called hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, which is associated with deficient cytotoxic function. We are also keenly interested in understanding how immune hyperactivation, as seen in this syndrome, drives severe macrophage-mediated pathologies. Additionally, we have significant interests in understanding immune priming as it applies to vaccine immunology.
Applicants should send a letter detailing specific scientific interests, accomplishments, and goals. Additionally, please send a curriculum vitae, and 3 references to the address below.
