Postdoctoral Position Molecular Oncology Columbia University Two postdoctoral fel low/research associate positions are available in a new laboratory in the Division of Cellular and Molecular Biology of the Department of Pathology to study the molecular mechanisms involved in the growth and differentiation of normal and neoplastic human B-cells. The following lines of research are being pursued: i) elucidation of the mechanism of regulation of the c-myc protooncogene. In particular, a negative auto-regulatory mechanism of the c-myc gene has been identified and characterized allowing for further studies on the identification of proteins and genes mediating this mechanism and its derangement on growth-transformed cells; ii) structural and functional characterization of novel oncogenes identified by a newly established human B-cell transformation assay. Applicants should have a-strong background in molecular genetics. Send curriculum vitae and the names and addresses of three references to: Dr. Rlccardo Dalla-Favera, Department of Pathology, Columbia University, 830 West 188th Street, New York, NY 10032.
