POSTDOCTORAL POSITION available to study the molecular mechanism of hepatocyte growth factor-mediated inhibition of lung fibrosis. Experimental approach will involve studies of regulation of gene expression by microRNAs in a mouse model of lung fibrosis and cell culture model of epithelial-mesenchymal transition. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to utilize several cutting-edge technologies using outstanding core facilities at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Our laboratory has significant collaborations with both basic and clinical science departments. Candidates should have experience in molecular biology. Additional experience in microarray analysis, lentivirus-mediated gene transfer, or immunofluorescence microscopy is highly desirable. Strong written and verbal skills in English are essential. This research is funded by NIH. Please send a brief cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the names and telephone numbers of two references to: Dr. Prabir Ray, Department of Medicine/Pulmonary Division, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, MUH 628 NW, 3459 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213.
