Postdoctoral Position Available Postdoctoral Position Available A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the Zhang laboratory. Areas of study include the molecular mechanisms of senescence and its functions in cancer and aging. Both cell culture and mouse models are used. A Ph.D. in molecular and cellular biology, genetics, or a related field is required. Prior experience in cell culture and mouse genetics is desirable. Please send curriculum vitae to Dr. Zhang (hong.zhang@umassmed.edu).
