Postdoctoral postion as posted on Postdoc Jobs website:

-----------------

Postdoctoral position is available immediately to study 
mechanisms of transcriptional repression in the 
Drosophila embryo. We are focusing on the role of 
transcriptional corepressors, dCtBP and others, in 
short-range repression. This type of repression 
establishes enhancer autonomy in complex gene loci, 
and creates characteristic patterns of gene expression, 
such as the seven-stripe patterns of eve and hairy 
expression. Yeast two-hybrid assays, in vitro binding 
assays, protein purification, creation of transgenic 
flies, in situ hybridization, and RNAi in flies and/or 
tissue cultures will be employed.

Candidates for the post-doctoral position should have 
experience in either Drosophila genetics, Biochemistry, 
or Molecular Biology. Applicants must have either a 
Ph.D. or MD and less than three years of postdoctoral 
experience. Applicants should send a cover letter, a CV, 
and names of three references to the address below (e-
mail is preferred).
