A postdoctoral position is available to study telomere dysfunction and replicative senescence in Dr Rachid Drissi's lab in the Division of Cancer Biology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Research Foundation. Our research effort is focused on elucidation of the role of double-strand break repair signaling pathways in telomere-induced senescence. The long-term goal of this research program is to define the role of ATM in the initiation and maintenance of replicative senescence. We are also interested in the role of telomerase in cancer initiating or stem-like cells. Candidates should have a Ph.D. with a strong background in molecular biology or biochemistry. Expertise with cell biology, cell based assays and mouse handling is preferred.
Interested candidates should send a CV, with description of research interests and contacts for three professional references, to (e-mail preferred):
