Postdoctoral Associate
A postdoctoral position is immediately available in the laboratory of Dr. Fekadu Kassie at the Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota, to study aberrant gene promoter hypermethylation in cancer. The research will focus in two areas. The first area is studying the role of aberrant promoter hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes as a biomarker for early detection of lung cancer. The second area involves modulation of aberrant methylation by chemopreventive agents in vitro cell culture models and in clinical studies. Research responsibilities will generally involve participation in the design, implementation, and evaluation of the research projects to study aberrant gene promoter hypermethylation in cancer. The appointee may participate in preparation and presentation of data to study investigators and author, co-author, and otherwise collaborate on reports, conference papers and publications. Postdoctoral training positions are normally limited to a maximum period of three years. Candidates are encouraged to submit a CV, a short description of career goal, and 2-3 recommendation letters. Principal Investigator: Dr. Fekadu Kassie. Please apply through the online employment system. See requisition number 163794.

Postdoctoral Associate
A Postdoctoral Associate is sought to conduct research in cancer genetics involving the use of a synthetic transposable element called Sleeping Beauty (SB). Utilizing SB, the first efficient system for in vivo transposition in somatic cells of the mouse, a screen for novel colorectal cancer genes was carried out (Starr et al., Science, 2009). A National Cancer Institute-supported project to functionally validate genes from this and other screens is underway and a postdoc is sought for this work. Use of an extensive array of novel transposon vectors and novel mouse models of cancer will also be a part of this project. Required: PhD or equivalent degree; and experience in biomedical research. Preferred: Research background in the areas of mouse cancer genetics and/or manipulation of gene expression in cancer cell cultures via gene knockdown or overexpression. Preference will be given to candidates who are eligible for a Cancer Biology Training Grant fellowship (US citizen or permanent resident). The anticipated start date of this position is October 1, 2009. See requisition number 161839.
Principal Investigator: David A. Largaespada, Ph.D. Collaborator: Robert Cormier, Ph.D.
