Job: Postdoctoral Research Assistant - Plant Sciences

Applications are invited for a 38-month postdoctoral position on a BBSRC-funded project, ‘Pathways that limit leaflet formation in Cardamine hirsuta’, led by Professor Miltos Tsiantis. It is anticipated that the successful applicant will start in the summer of 2010.

The aim of the project is to understand the genetic networks that control the number, timing and position of leaflet development in C. hirsuta; a genetically tractable compound leafed relative of the simple leafed reference plant A. thaliana. The project builds on previous research by the group (Barkoulas, et al. Nature Genetics 40, 1136 - 41; Hay & Tsiantis, Nature Genetics 38, 942-7) and would suit highly motivated applicants with high-level developmental biology skills and an interest in the genetics of morphological diversity. Proven research skills in developmental genetics and molecular biology are essential, and a strong background in plant development is highly desirable. Further particulars may be downloaded from the website and are also available from the Administrator.

As the oldest university in the English-speaking world, Oxford is a unique and historic institution. During the 20th and early 21st centuries, Oxford added to its humanistic core a major new research capacity in the natural and applied sciences, including medicine. In so doing, it has enhanced and strengthened its traditional role as an international focus for learning and a forum for intellectual debate.

Job: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Center of Excellence in Genomic Science

The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute-NIH Center of Excellence in Genomic Science (CEGS), funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), provides interdisciplinary research and training opportunities for students from underrepresented minority groups as part of our Minority Action Plan.

Overview

Our “Bridges to Graduate School” (BGS) Post-Baccalaureate Program is a two-year scientifically diversified training opportunity for recent college graduates and post-baccalaureate students who are preparing to apply to graduate programs in genomics or a related field. Our CEGS encompasses a collaboration of eight basic and clinical research groups from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Northeastern University.

Our CEGS will examine the effects of genetic and environmental perturbations on human cellular networks using protein-protein interaction mapping, proteomic analysis, and transcriptional profiling. Our central hypothesis is that both human genetic variations and pathogens such as viruses induce “disease states” by influencing local and global properties of cellular networks. Our overall goal in this proposal is to develop strategies to test this network hypothesis to probe the structure and dynamics of disease-related networks in response to exogenous perturbations. The knowledge gained will be used to develop better models to interpret genome-wide genetic variations in the context of human disease.

Program Description:

It is now widely accepted that the traditional approach of “one gene at-a-time” in biology should be combined with genomic approaches and more integrative, systems biology approaches. Our BGS Program will provide a rich, unique and rewarding training environment to introduce participants to this new and rapidly evolving field of biological research. Each of the participants will be rigorously exposed to an interdisciplinary set of skills and scientific disciplines. While any one trainee may choose an experimentalist approach or a computational and integrative systems approach, all trainees will participate in and be exposed to the full range of technologies, concepts and disciplines employed in this CEGS.

Under the guidance of CEGS scientists, BGS trainees will participate in a 2-year research program in the fields of functional genomics and systems biology. Program participants will access multiple research environments and gain experience in the following research areas: proteomics, gene expression analysis, protein interaction mapping, bioinformatics, computational biology and laboratory automation. At the end of the two-year internship, BGS students will be expected to enroll in competitive graduate schools with the goal of developing a career in the genomic sciences.

Program Benfits: Competitive salary including benefits; Tuition Reimbursement; Scientific and Professional Development Seminars; GRE preparation

Eligibility: Applicants must (A) be a US citizen or permanent resident; (B) be a member of an underrepresented minority group in genomic science (Black, Hispanic, Native American, Alaskan Native, Pacific Islander); (C) have obtained a BS/BA within the past year; (D) have a competitive academic record; (E) have significant research experience (honors thesis or summer research); (F) be able to make a two year commitment to the program.
