Postdoctoral Position, Habas Laboratory - Temple University

Postdoctoral position to study Wnt signaling during early vertebrate embryogenesis.

A postdoctoral position is currently available in the laboratory of Raymond Habas in the Biology Department at Temple University (http://habaslab.weebly.com/). We study the role of Wnt signaling during early development using Xenopus and zebrafish models. Current projects include the functional characterization of a number of newly identified proteins that regulate either canonical Wnt signaling for organizer/shield formation and non-canonical Wnt signaling for gastrulation and neural tube closure. The laboratory utilizes biochemical, cell biological and embryological approaches in both cell culture and Xenopus/zebrafish.

Preference will be given to applicants who are highly motivated, have a good publication record and hold a recent PhD in a related area of study.  Ideal candidates will have demonstrated experience in molecular biology approaches, as well as experience with Xenopus and/or zebrafish models.

Applicants should email a copy of their CV, reprints of relevant publications and the contact information of three references to Dr. Raymond Habas (habas@temple.edu).
