Postdoctoral positional available - Blair lab- Univ Wisconsin-Madison

[Seth Blair]

Postdoctoral positions are available in Seth Blair’s lab in the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, supported by a new NIH R01 grant to study the mechanisms by which binding between the Fat and Dachsous protocadherins regulates the growth and planar polarity of developing Drosophila tissues. The laboratory also has wide-ranging interests in developmental signaling and has published about the patterning of Drosophila tissues by known and novel components of the BMP, Hedgehog, Wnt, and Notch signaling pathways.  

Expertise: Our research uses a mixture of in vivo molecular genetics, imaging and manipulations of developing Drosophila tissues, and in vitro protein biochemistry, including western blot and mass-spec-based analyses of protein binding, palmitoylation, ubiquitination, and phosphorylation.  Expertise in any these areas is desirable, but not as essential as self-motivation and independence.   

Requirements: PhD or PhD/MD in a biological field, preferably involving cell and/or developmental biology, and one published or accepted peer-reviewed research manuscript.

Apply: Send or email a CV with the names of references, and a cover letter outlining your interests in this area of research, to:
