                    SMITHKLINE BEECHAM PHARMACEUTICALS

            Ph.D. Scientist -- Comparative Genetics,C. elegans

SmithKline  Beecham  is  a  leader  in  functional  genomics  as applied to
pharmaceutical  research  and  development.   Our Department of Comparative
Genetics  conducts  gene-based  biology in model organisms (primarily yeast
and  mouse) to identify and validate drug targets, to develop drug screens,
and  to  generate  animal  models  for  human  disease.   We  are currently
expanding to create an inhouse Caenorhabditis elegans genetics group.

The successful candidate will be the principal investigator to lead our new
initiative  in  C. elegans genetics, and will exploit C. elegans as a model
organism  to  identify  and  characterize  the functions of novel genes and
their  human  counterparts.  C.  elegans  genetics  will  also  be  used to
investigate the mechanisms of action of pharmaceutical agents.

Requires:  Ph.D. in Genetics or related discipline; 2-5 years post-doctoral
experience;  a  strong  background  in classical and recombinant C. elegans
genetics;  and  a  proven  record of scientific achievement as evidenced by
publications in leading scientific journals.  SmithKline Beecham scientists
are encouraged to publish their research findings.

Located  in  our  state-of-the-art  R&D  facility in suburban Philadelphia,
SmithKline  Beecham offers a competitive benefits and compensation package,
as  well as a challenging work environment. Please submit your confidential
