Postdoctoral Research Positions Marie Curie Cancer Research
Postdoctoral positions are available to study the immediate early events associated with oncogene
mediated changes in mammalian cell phenotype and cell cycle progression.
The main area of research will focus on a detailed analysis of changes in the spectrum of mRNA trans-
cripts and their encoded proteins in celf populations expressing specific oncogene products de novo.
Projects will involve use of computer-assisted 2D gel analysis and will run within the environment of a
group with interests in both the mode of action of nuclear oncoproteins, and the molecular enzymology
of replicative DNA synthesis.
These positions command salaries in the range of fl7,680 - f19,310.
