The Babraham Institute Laboratory of Molecular Signalling, Cambridge
Cell Signalling A 5-year postdoctoral position is available to work on cell signalling in C. elegans. The project will investigate the modulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors and the interactions of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors with other cell signalling components. The yeast two-hybrid system together with genetic, transgenic and molecular approaches in C. elegans will be employed. The position is available immediately. The laboratory is located in the Department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge. Experience of either molecular biology or C. elegans techniques would be an advantage. Informal enquiries and details of the formal application procedure can be obtained from: Dr Howard Baylis The Babraham Institute Laboratory of Molecular Signalling Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge Downing Street, Cambridge, CB2 3EJ, UK e-mail: hab@mole.bio.cam.ac.uk fax: (0)1223 461954 tel: (0)1223 336684 Molecular Neurobiology A 3-year postdoctoral position is available to investigate the molecular basis of functional diversity in the extensive nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) gene family of C. elegans. The project will employ genetic, transgenic, molecular and GFP expression studies and will involve collaboration with electrophysiologists. Ref. J. Neurosci. (1997) 17:5843-5857. The post is available from 1st February 1998. The laboratory is located in the Department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge. The post would suit an experienced molecular biologist; specific expertise with C. elegans would be useful.
