Postdoc positions are available in the McManus lab to study biological processes relating to RNA interference pathways, using the mouse as a model. This includes the study of small RNAs of biological significance, such as microRNAs, and genetic factors involved in small RNA genesis and regulation of gene expression. Several projects are available that center on mammalian systems that use powerful siRNA and shRNA libraries, mouse transgenics (such as microRNA knock-outs), and novel approaches aimed at dissecting mechanisms of small RNA biology. Anyone interested in molecular mechanisms of gene expression as related to small RNAs should apply.
