Postdoctoral Openings

Academic Division:
Biological Sciences

Academic Department/Research Unit:
Cell and Developmental Biology

Disciplinary Specialty of Research:
Genetics, Biochemistry, Cell Biology

Applications are invited for one or more postdoctoral positions to study mRNA localization events in Drosophila melanogaster. Particular focus will be on RNA-protein complexes that are actively transported along microtubules to the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum and that facilitate ER to Golgi trafficking (Wilhelm, JE Developmental Cell, 2005). Join the UCSD cell biology community and our growing group to examine how the RNA world interacts with membrane trafficking systems.
