Description
Two federal-funded postdoctoral positions are available immediately for highly motivated individuals at the Nevada Cancer Institute in Las Vegas. We are studying how pluripotency of human embryonic and adult stem cells are maintained, and how deregulation may result in cancer stem cells, specifically, leukemic stem cells. A Ph.D. degree with strong background in molecular biology, biochemistry, and tissue culture is high desirable. Prior experience in hematopoietic stem cells, human embryonic stem cells or molecular biology is required. Please send curriculum vitae and names and contact information of three references to:
Yupo Ma, MD, PhD, Chief of Hematopathology at Nevada Cancer Institute. yma@nvcancer.org
