POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP

BRIGHAM AND WOMEN’S HOSPITAL

HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL

The Dimitroff Laboratory (http://dimitrofflab.bwh.harvard.edu/) has an opening for a post-doctoral fellowship position to study how lectin-binding carbohydrates are upregulated on malignant melanoma cells and whether these lectin-binding structures are functionally correlated with malignant behavior.  This individual will become part of an enthusiastic team approach to solving glyco-pathobiological problems in cancer development.  Candidates with knowledge of glycobiology and lectin biology in the context of tumor metastasis or of inflammation are preferred, but not necessary.  Having a strong background in the performance of flow cytometry, real-time RT-PCR, cell adhesion assays, Western blotting, gene transfection/transduction/silencing technologies is critical.  Necessary qualifications include an M.D., Ph.D., or M.D./Ph.D. degree and excellent communication/written English skills.
