Université de Montréal

A postdoctoral scientist position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Vincent Poitout at the University of Montreal.  The objective of this postdoctoral project is to unravel the mechanisms whereby RGS9 regulates hormone secretion from rodent and human islets. Methodologies to be employed include mouse islet isolations, adenoviral transduction of rodent and human islets, measurements of beta-cell proliferation by flow cytometry, assessment of hormone secretion in static incubations and perifusions, and immunohistochemistry. Please send a cover letter and curriculum vitae, including the names of three references to: Dr. Vincent Poitout.
