The Ding Laboratory

Postdoctoral Associate Positions Available at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI)
 

        We seek highly motivated individuals with a proven research track record to join Ding Laboratory at TSRI as postodoctoral fellows. Successful applicants will exploit, develop and implement high throughput cellular screens of large combinatorial chemical libraries (>1 million small molecules) and arrayed cDNA (>30,000 human and mouse genes) and siRNA libraries (targeting over 16,000 human and mouse genes with more than three designed sequences per gene) to identify and characterize small molecules and genes which can control stem cell fate in various systems (including embryonic stem cells, adult neural stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells), as well as regulate specific signaling pathways. The successful candidates will work in a multidisciplinary, highly interactive environment with chemists, biologists, engineers and informaticians, and develop or apply emerging technologies to address critical issues in the area of Chemical Biology and Functional Genomics. While this position will focus on projects that lead to high quality journal publications, there also will be an opportunity for the candidate to be exposed to many of the processes involved in modern drug discovery.
 

        A Ph.D. in molecular biology, cell biology or biochemistry is required as are excellent communication skills and the ability to work independently and productively. Applicants are requested to send a copy of their CV, a summary of research experience and reference letters to:
