A Postdoctoral position is available to study the role of calcium signaling and the actin cytoskeleton in cancer cell invasion, metastasis and intercellular interactions in Dr. Shengyu Yang’s lab at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center. Our goal is to reveal how the hyperactive store-operated calcium signals promote cancer invasion and metastasis by deregulating the actin cytoskeleton and intercellular interactions. Biochemistry, cell biology, state-of-the-art live cell imaging techniques, genetically engineered and xenograft mouse models will be employed in the study. Our recent work can be seen in Cancer Cell. 15: p.124-34, Nature. 464; p.1062-6; J. Biol. Chem 280: p. 17230-7 and J. Biol. Chem 286: p. 38865-75
The successful candidate will be a highly motivated recent graduate with a Ph.D. or equivalent degree, who has expertise in cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology or related fields. Our ideal candidate will also be familiar with routine cell culture, biochemistry and molecular biology techniques. Experience with fluorescence imaging, image analysis, calcium signaling and mouse work will be a plus.
The Moffitt Cancer Center is a modern facility on the University of South Florida Campus that conducts research on various aspects of Cancer Biology with emphasis on translational research. It is the third largest Cancer Center in the US based on patient volume. The research environment includes state of the art modern core facilities and pathogen-free modern animal facilities, access to clinical material, etc.
Please apply to Req ID 11277 at www.moffitt.org/careers, and make sure to include a recent CV, cover letter and information for three academic or professional references with your application. Application materials can also be sent to Dr. Shengyu Yang at Shengyu.yang@moffitt.org
