Postdoctoral Position in Left-Right Asymmetric Organ Morphogenesis
Posted by Nanette Nascone-Yoder, on 21 August 2014
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available in the Nascone-Yoder laboratory at North Carolina State University (NCSU) to study left-right asymmetric organ morphogenesis. The successful applicant will utilize both Xenopus and the emerging amphibian model, Lepidobatrachus (Budgett’s frog), to elucidate the cellular and molecular basis of gut and/or heart looping.
We are seeking a self-motivated individual with a Ph.D. in cell and developmental bio, and at least one peer-reviewed publication. A strong background in molecular biology must be demonstrated, with experience in bioinformatics, frog models, organogenesis, IHC techniques, and/or confocal microscopy also highly desirable.
North Carolina State University is situated in the heart of the Research “Triangle” (as delineated by the three relative locations of NCSU, Duke University & University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). The Nascone-Yoder lab is located in the Department of Molecular Biomedical Sciences at the NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine, currently ranked 3rd among the top veterinary colleges in the nation.
Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Please send a CV, including a list of three references, and a statement of research interest by email to: Nanette Nascone-Yoder, nmnascon@ncsu.edu
