A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Fang Lin in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Iowa. The laboratory is interested in studying G protein couple receptors and G protein signaling in zebrafish embryogenesis. These studies will employ a combination of genetic, genomic, cellular, and biochemical techniques. A highly motivated Ph.D. with experience in the study of signal transduction, developmental and molecular biology is desired. Previous experience with the zebrafish model is preferable, but not a requirement, as training will be provided.

 

Iowa City is a very nice, safe and collegial town with high living standards, but inexpensive cost of living as compared to larger cities. Recent survey ranks UI as top University for postdoctoral students
