Postdoctoral Research Associate position in Dr. Pilar Blancafort’s Laboratory
Department of Pharmacology at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill I am currently seeking a highly motivated individual(s) to join an established functional genomics laboratory in the Department of Pharmacology. The goal of our laboratory is to understand genes and genetic pathways involved in breast stem cell self-renewal and how dys-regulation of these pathways might contribute to tumorigenesis in the mammary gland. Our laboratory engineers Artificial Transcription Factors made of Zinc Finger (ZF) units, which are designed to bind and perturb the expression of critical target promoters regulators of self-renewal and differentiation in cancer. These engineered ATFs are linked to chromatin effector domains, which direct specific changes in the chromatin of self-renewal gene promoters. Please see our papers (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2005 Aug 16;102(33):11716-21; Oncogene. 2007 Apr 26;26(19):2791-8; Mol Cancer Ther. 2008 May;7(5):1080-90) for the background and flavor of our research.
Candidates are required to possess experience in cell biology, small animal handling, molecular biology, or related fields. Further, the ideal candidate must be well organized, possess good communication skills, and willing to explore new techniques.
The laboratory itself is housed in the newly completed Genetic Medicine Research Building on south campus in the Medical School complex. This is a very modern and sophisticated facility where cutting-edge research occurs on a daily basis. It is a perfect environment for conducting scientific research in your chosen field so you are invited to visit the department’s web site to learn more about our Faculty and research programs. A link is provided below.

There are 2 Positions Available in Andrea Nackley Neely’s Lab
Graduate Student
Research Technician -- POSITION CLOSED
Our lab integrates molecular genetics, animal models, and clinical epidemiologic measures to understand neurobiological processes underlying persistent pain as well as to identify unique markers for the diagnosis of clinical pain conditions in order to ultimately provide novel targets for the development of effective individualized pain therapeutics. Currently, we are seeking a graduate student and research technician to work on a translational research project aimed at characterizing the relationship between genotype, protein expression, signalling processes, and clinical pain phenotypes. Experience in molecular biology, neuroscience, or related fields is required. Applicants must be highly motivated, organized, dependable, and possess excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Please send curriculum vitae and names/contact information for 3 references to:
Andrea Nackley Neely, PhD

Center for Neurosensory Disorders
2180 Old Dental Building
Chapel Hill, NC 27599-7450
Communication is preferred via email: andrea_neely@dentistry.unc.edu
Temporary Full-Time Position as Postdoctoral Fellow Our laboratory is seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic post-doctoral fellow. The Whitehurst lab is focused on gaining a mechanistic understanding of the core molecular components that specify tumorigenic phenotypes at the cancer cell autonomous level. To realize this goal, the laboratory employs genome wide siRNA screening to isolate gene products supporting the survival, proliferation and chemosensitivity of tumor cells. Please see our paper in Whitehurst et al .: Nature, 2007, 446:815.
Experience in biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology required. Must be organized, possess excellent communication skills and be able to work easily with others in the laboratory. Applicant must be a author/coauthor on at least one peer reviewed manuscript.
Please send curriculum vitae and contact information of three references to:

The Siderovski laboratory also has current employment opportunities. Please consult the Siderovski lab webpage: http://www.unc.edu/~dsiderov/opportunities.htm 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.
