Postdoctoral Research Fellows in Cell Biology, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan

Several post-doctoral positions are available at the recently established Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in Okinawa, Japan, in the laboratory of Dr. Mary Ann Price.

The major interest of the Price lab is the mechanisms cells use to decode extracellular signals during development.

The current focus of the lab is Hedgehog signal transduction, an important developmental signalling pathway increasingly recognized for its role in human disease, and in particular the regulation of Ci, the key transcription factor on the pathway.

Requirements:

  • Applicants must have a PhD or MD with equivalent research experience.

  • Proficiency in oral and written English is essential.

  • Experience in one of the above techniques is desirable.

    Starting annual salary will be 4.5-6.0 million yen depending on experience.

    Please submit curriculum vitae, summary of research interests, and the names of three referees to:
