Employment Opportunites
2 Postitions available in Molecular and Cancer Biology:
Postdoctoral Fellow
Full time Research Technician
The goal of our laboratory is to engineer transcription factors comprised of zinc finger
DNA binding domains (TFs) to regulate specific genes involved in cancer disease. Genomic
approaches, including screenings of TFs from combinatorial TF libraries, are performed to identify
genes and regulatory regions involved in tumor progression. Experience in molecular biology, tissue
culture, or in animal models would be useful. Must be highly organized, possess both verbal and written
communication skills, and willing to interact with other lab members.

The Hahn Lab has 4 positions available:
1. Imaging Scientist
Seeking a person interested in a long term position applying cutting edge tools in live cell imaging. Background in microscopy, engineering and/or computer science together with knowledge of cell biology would be valuable. (Science, 305:1615-1619, 2004; Cytometry, 69:563-782, 2006; Nature, 440:1069-1072, 2006.).
2. Postdoctoral positions in synthetic and/or physical organic chemistry, chemical biology
Develop environmentally responsive dyes, photoreactive molecules to manipulate signaling in living cells, in vivo site-specific protein labeling, and cell delivery.(J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 125:4132-4145, 2003, Science, 305: 1615-1619, 2004.)
3. Postdoctoral positions in cell biology and imaging
Rho family and MAPK signaling networks in morphodynamics. Development of biosensors, genetically encoded caged proteins, and other tools to study signaling in living cells. Systems analysis of signaling networks.
4. High Content Screening; Biosensors, Novel Screening Technology
Klaus Hahn and Nancy Allbritton are recruiting for a postdoctoral position in an interdisciplinary research project. (www.med.unc.edu/pharm/faculty/labpages/hahnlab/) and (www.chem.unc.edu/people/faculty/allbrittonnl/). Specific areas of interest include pharmacological screens using live cell biosensors (Hahn) with novel high content imaging technology (Allbritton). Background in microscopy, engineering and/or computer science together with knowledge of cell biology would be valuable. Experience with fluorescence microcopy techniques, including FRET-based techniques or in microfabrication techniques is desired. The candidate should be comfortable working in a multidisciplinary environment that spans the fields of biology, medicine, chemistry and engineering. Candidates must have a Ph.D. or M.D. degree and less than 5 years of postdoctoral experience. Salary is commensurate with research experience.
Please send CV to: Klaus Hahn, Professor of Pharmacology, UNC-Chapel Hill, at khahn@med.unc.edu.

Postdoctoral position available immediately in the Trejo lab:
We are seeking an individual interested in the study of signaling and trafficking of seven-transmembrane/G-protein-coupled receptors (7TMR/GPCRs). 7TMRs/GPCRs are the largest and most diverse class of signaling receptors in the mammalian genome and the target of nearly half the drugs currently in use. We are using systemic approaches to identify novel ubiquitin modifying enzymes and molecules that regulate 7TMRs/GPCRs signaling in vascular cells and breast cancer. A background in signaling and trafficking as well as experience in microscopy and cell biology is required.
Please send CV to: JoAnn Trejo, Associate Professor of Pharmacology, UNC-Chapel Hill, at joann_trejo@med.unc.edu

Post-doc positions available in Zefeng Wang’s lab:
Highly motivated individuals are invited to join a newly established functional genomics lab. The goal of our lab is to understand how splicing is regulated in a systematic level. Our main approach is to collect a ‘part list’ of splicing regulation, and to further determine how they functionally interact to each other so that to assemble a set of general rules of splicing (i.e. the splicing code). Both experimental and computational methods are used to identify regulatory elements of splicing in genomic scale. Please see our papers (Wang et al.: Cell, 2004, 119: 831-845 and Mol. Cell,2006, 23: 61-70) for the background and flavor of our research.
Experiences in biochemistry, molecular biology, bioinformatics, statistics or related fields are required. Must be organized, possess good communication skills, and willing to explore new techniques.
