From owner-celegans@net.bio.net Mon Mar 01 22:00:00 1999 Path: biosci!biosci!not-for-mail From: Barth Grant Newsgroups: bionet.celegans Subject: tech position open Date: 2 Mar 1999 07:53:09 -0800 Organization: Columbia University College of P&S Lines: 29 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Approved: wmorgan@acs.wooster.edu Distribution: world Message-ID: <7bh1h5$9aj@net.bio.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net Dear Colleagues, We are seeking a research technician to join us in investigating endocytosis using the molecular genetics of C. elegans. Using a sensitive assay, we have isolated a number of mutants that are defective in endocytosis and have mapped the mutations and placed them into complementation groups. We are now focusing on the individual genes to identify the functions of the proteins in endocytosis. We seek someone with a degree in biology or chemistry and who has knowledge of molecular biology and genetics. We prefer that the candidate have experience performing genetic analysis with C. elegans, doing PCR and recombinant DNA methods. The individual will work closely with postdocs devoted to the project. We seek individuals with a strong intellectual curiosity and commitment to solving problems. If you know of people interested in such a position please have them write to me at the above address or respond by e-mail to me at dih1@columbia.edu. We are part of a distinguished research faculty at Columbia and we are located in NYC, which offers unlimited cultural opportunities for intellectually inclined people. Sincerely yours, David Hirsh .
