Postdoctoral Position (Junior Researcher)

A Junior Researcher (postdoctoral) position is open to study the regulation of the MAP kinase and apoptotic pathways and their functions in integrin-mediated cell adhesion and migration.  We are particularly interested in the roles of PEA-15 and related proteins in these processes, however we welcome new ideas.  Because of the fundamental nature of this work it has applications to a number of pathological states including two areas of research focus in our group: glioblastoma and neuroblastoma.   We are using methods such as transgenic mice, microarray analysis, flow cytometry, expression cloning, FRET, and confocal microscopy.   See our publications for further information.  We are currently funded by the NIH, and HCF.

The University of Hawaii Cancer Center is a top rank research institution and one of only 61 NCI designated Cancer Research Centers.  The Cancer Center is a part of the University of Hawaii at Manoa and is adjacent to the Queens Medical Center.  We share close collaborations with the John A. Burns School of Medicine.  The center is undergoing significant growth and our lab has relocated to spacious, new state of the art research space.  We are in Honolulu on the beautiful island of Oahu in Hawaii.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. or M.D. with an extensive background in Cell Biology and Biochemistry.  Lab experience doing Molecular Biology is required.  The successful candidate will have peer-reviewed publications attesting to their expertise.  Preference will be given to candidates with experience in signal transduction, immunology or transgenic mice.   The candidate is expected to be self-motivated, ambitious, and to present their work in publications and at international meetings.  Training will include writing and submitting competitive grant proposals.

Join our team and make a contribution to the fight against cancer!
