[bionet.jobs] post-doc position

JLIPSICK@BIONET-20.BIO.NET (Joseph Lipsick) (02/16/89)

A position is open in our lab for a postdoctoral fellow to
participate in ongoing studies of the myb oncogene.  Altered forms
of this gene cause leukemias of various types in animals.  The
normal gene is highly expressed in immature hematopoietic cells,
is down-regulated as these cells mature, and appears likely to control
the differentiation process.  At least one domain of this gene is
highly conserved in green plants and invertebrates as well as
among the higher vertebrates.  The myb proteins are located in
the cell nucleus, bind DNA, and have short half lives.  Consistent
with these properties, our lab has recently found that the myb proteins
can regulate the transcription of unlinked genes.  Available projects
include ongoing structure-function studies of the v-myb and c-myb
gene products, evolutionary conservation of myb-related genes,
identification of myb-regulated genes, and control of hematopoietic
differentiation by myb-related genes.

Experience in molecular biology, biochemistry, and or virology is
required.  Please send C.V., research interests, and the names of three 
referees to JLIPSICK via BIONET, or to:

Dear Dr Johnston,
                 I am posting c.v. etc to you by air mail. My present
project ends in September, so I would be available to commence work in
October.
              Sincerely,

              Ciaran J. Somers.
