The Laboratory of Reproductive Sciences of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center is pleased to offer a position to qualified postdoctoral trainees with C.elegans experience who may wish to secure exposure to mammalian reproductive physiology while interfacing with the local C.elegans community. Funding for one position is available effective immediately. The purpose of this initiative, among other objectives, is to accelerate the pace of discovery (through the use of the C.elegans paradigm) of novel genes applicable to the mammalian reproductive axis. The laboratory in question for which the principal investigator is Dr. Eli Y. Adashi is focusing on the molecular endocrinology of the mammalian ovary, novel gene discovery and tissue-specific gene ablation technology. The Adashi Laboratory is currently comprised of postdocs (7), technical personnel, and administrative personnel for a total of 15 members. The C.elegans community at the University of Utah is a strong and vibrant one complimenting broad strength in developmental biology and in human genetics. Strong parallel programs in mouse and Zebrafish genetics are likewise available. Please feel free to send any and all inquires to Eli Y. Adashi, M.D., Presidential Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, John A. Dixon Professor and Chair, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Utah Health Sciences Center at eadashi@hsc.utah.edu.
