There are many exciting projects in the lab that could be pursued by incoming post-docs, and this is an excellent environment for post-doctoral training. The setting is very collaborative, both within our lab and between labs at the University. Our lab space is part of an open lab, with additional specialty rooms for biochemistry, microscopy, tissue culture, and computer work. Our lab is adjoining those of Don Ayer, Brad Cairns, and Susan Mango. During the academic year we have a Transcription Journal Club that these labs, and others within the Institute, participate in. The Department of Oncological Sciences has around 30 post-docs and several forums for interaction amongst Institute members. For example, the weekly internal seminar series is a great way to keep up with what is going on as well as to present your work and receive feedback.
We have funding available for starting post-docs, although in most cases post-docs are expected to apply for independent funding and this is something we would work together on.
