EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
FRED HUTCHINSON CANCER RESEARCH CENTER - Staff Scientist/Postdoctoral Research Fellow - The overarching goal of the Amanda Paulovich laboratory at the Hutchinson Center is to characterize human phenotypic variation and translate this variation into clinically useful diagnostics. The laboratory is a highly interdisciplinary collaborative setting in which chemists, biochemists, statisticians, computer scientists, biologists, and geneticists work closely together on projects ranging from basic yeast genetics to the mammalian cell DNA damage response to mass spectrometry and biomarker discovery. JOB DESCRIPTION: This is an upper-level, flexible position for an experienced yeast geneticist to lead a new Project in the laboratory. This position is funded off a new R01 grant aimed to characterize cellular networks that buffer the phenotypic effects of defects in the DNA damage response pathway, using the yeast S. cerevisiae as a model system. To apply for this position, please send cover leter, CV, and the contact information for three professional references to: Kathe Watanabe, Human Resources Specialist, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Human Resources, J1-105, P.O.

Seeking volunteer work in a lab
Marisa Weeks is a senior at Eastside Catholic and has an interest in persuing a career in science. She attended a medical camp last summer and this summer she will be attending a CSI, Crime Scene Investigator, camp. At this camp she will learn additional lab skills and last summer she learned about the medical profession and some basic medical skills. She would really like to have the opportunity to volunteer or work in a lab over the summer and/or throughout the school year. She has taken Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Anatomy, and this upcoming school year she will take AP Bio/Med. Her contact information is: weeksje4@aol.com or call 425-442-9525.

Seeking employment
Erika Adriana Hoyos Ramirez is seeking a lab position. A recent graduate with a B.S. in biology, her major interest in biology is in understanding how molecular and cellular mechanisms produce higher-level function. Specifically, she has been fascinated by the ability of cells to process information from intra- and extra-cellular inputs to adapt and change their behavior. Is interested in working in a lab exploring these general themes, and have had several years experience working in research labs. She has worked in on both experimental and theoretical research projects. Experimentally, she has assisted with population genetic studies to find polymorphisms in the genes DRD3 and DRD4 thought to be responsible for Tourette Syndrome in the Columbian population. Please contact Erika, hoyose@u.washington.edu for more details on her experience.

THE DANA FOUNDATION PROGRAM IN BRAIN AND IMMUNO-IMAGING REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
The Dana Founation's imaging research program focuses on improving human brain and brain-immune functioning in health and disease. The program consists of two tracks. Track A is for conventional imaging (anatomical imaging of white or gray matter and measures of physiological functioning). Track B is for cellular and molecular imaging of biochemical actions of specific brain cells, or their interactions with immune cells. Institutions may submit only one application per track. The program focuses on providing support to faculty researchers early in their career, at the assistant professor level, or early in their associate professor career. Proposals from senior investigators generally will be considered only if they represent a new direction of research. Post-doctoral research fellows are not eligible to apply.
