Job Opportunities

Postdoctoral Fellow

A postdoctoral position is available to study vertebrate embryogenesis and stem cell biology in the laboratory of Kristen L. Kroll at Washington University School of Medicine. We are defining roles of chromatin regulatory complexes in
controlling transcription to maintain embryonic stem cells and regulate their differentiation into neurons. Biochemical and molecular characterization of essential regulatory molecules is complemented by work in both mouse stem cell
and mouse and Xenopus embryo models. See our web site for additional information about our ongoing research: http://molecool.wustl.edu/krolllab/

Setting/Salary/Benefits:

Our laboratory is an academic setting in the Department of Molecular Biology and Pharmacology at Washington University School of Medicine (St. Louis). Washington University is an internationally recognized research institution with a dynamic research environment and extensive infrastructural and core facility support. Salary is commensurate with experience and benefits include fifteen vacation days, group health insurance, and optional life insurance. Complete information on the benefit package is located on the WUSM Human Resources Benefits Website (http://medschoolhr.wustl.edu). The St. Louis area combines the attractions of a major city with family-friendly and affordable lifestyle opportunities (http://www.stlouis.com/).

Qualifications:

Candidates should hold a recent PhD with solid technical training in biochemistry/molecular biology and a strong interest in research at the intersections between vertebrate early embryogenesis/stem cell biology,
epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, and transcriptional control. Applicants living in the US and US citizens are strongly preferred. Interested candidates may send a CV/names of references by email to kkroll@wustl.edu or by regular mail
to Kristen L. Kroll, Washington University School of Medicine, Campus Box 8103, 660 S. Euclid Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110.
