The Genetics Department at the Duke University Medical Center has two
newly funded programs for research postdoctoral training.

Postdoctoral Fellow in Mouse Molecular Genetics. A NIH funded Post
Doctoral position is available to study the molecular mechanisms of
heart failure. The project will be to identify novel cardiovascular
phenotypes in N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenized mice and then
map the relevant mutations in order to identify genes previously
unrecognized as a cause of cardiovascular disease. Applicants must
have a strong background in molecular biology and mouse genetics.
Applicants should send a resume and statement of interests/experience
to Douglas A. Marchuk, PhD, Department of Genetics, Duke University
Medical Center, email: (...) FAX 919 681-9193

A postdoctoral position is available to study the effects of endoglin
and ALK-1 on TGF-beta signaling. We have shown that the genes for
these two TGF-beta binding proteins are mutated in the inherited
vascular disorder, Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia. (for a
review, see the chapter on Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia. In:
Molecular and Metabolic Basis of Inherited Disease 8th edition. pp.
5419-5431). This position concerns the role of these binding proteins
in cell signaling and endothelial cell biology. (See J Biol Chem
274:9984-9992, 1999 and Hum Mol Genet 9:745-755, 2000). Interest or
experience in molecular and cell biology required. Applicants should
send a resume and statement of interests/experience to Douglas A.
Marchuk, PhD, Department of Genetics, Duke University Medical Center,
Email: (...) FAX 919 681-9193

An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
