POST DOCTRAL position available in University of Tokyo

A postdoctoral position is available in our lab on a PRESTO project; Systems Analysis of Signal Transduction Mechanisms using both computational modeling and experimental observation of in vivo dynamics of signaling molecules.

Our laboratory is involved in several projects focused on the study of signal transduction pathways underlying various cellular functions including spike-timing synaptic plasticity, apoptosis/programmed cell death, cell fate determination, and cytoskeletal controls. We attempt to understand the dynamics of signal transduction pathways, especially NON-LINEAR responses; timing dependent synaptic plasticity, context-dependent regulation of cell fate determination switch, and bistable switch underlying cell contraction/relaxation. The work is highly integrative and encompasses all levels of signal transduction mechanisms.

The post doc will be strongly recommended to interact with colleagues involved in computational and experimental field in my laboratory and several collaborating laboratories. The candidate should have a Ph.D. degree and will be highly motivated and be preferably skilled in experimental analysis and/or bioinformatics and systems biology. However, the candidate without experience in computational analysis is also encouraged to apply.

The position is available starting in January, 2003. Interested candidates will send their 1) CV, 2) publication list, and 3) 3 reference names (email or mail). Candidates in this position are invited to contact me (e-mail or phone) for informal and further information.

The candidate does not necessarily have to speak and write Japanese. The candidate can take Japanese Language class free at the University.
