Mechanisms of Signal Transduction within Cilia and Flagella (110)

Posted date:
27-Oct-09

Job Description:

A postdoctoral position is available to study the cell and molecular mechanisms of signal transduction within the flagella of the unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas. Our laboratory has shown that intraflagellar transport is essential for coupling receptor binding on the flagellar membrane to activation of a signal transduction pathway within the flagella. We are taking advantage of our ability to isolate biochemical quantities of flagella from Chlamydomonas, the availability of Chlamydomonas bearing mutations in specific signaling pathways, and the ease of working with this simple biflagellated eukaryote to discover fundamental properties of cilium-generated signaling.

Job Requirements:

Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. with a strong background in cell and molecular biology.

Key word: postdoc; postdoctoral fellow
