A postdoctoral position is available to investigate the role of protein post-translational modifications in the regulation of cell adhesion and signaling events occurring during development. Recent work in our laboratory has revealed that glycosylation is necessary for viability and development in Drosophila and is involved in regulating cellular interactions. The role of glycoproteins in various developmental events will be investigated using a combination of genetic and biochemical/proteomic approaches.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. (or equivalent) with less than 4 years' postdoctoral experience. Experience in biochemistry or molecular biology is required.
