4. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Bertaccini Lab within the Stanford Department of Anesthesiology seeks an individual at the postdoctoral level with interest and expertise in molecular modeling related to protein homology modeling, ligand docking and drug design to develop the next generation of safer anesthetics. Specifically, this individual will initially be an integral developer of a large series of homology models of GABA receptors composed of variations in the available subunits. These models will be used to dock the few ligands available which are currently known to have GABAAR-slow subtype specificity in an effort to identify which subunits may characterize this feature. The most favorably interacting models will be tested in vitro, and then utilized for the subsequent phases of drug design, testing.

7. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Stanford Urologic Cancer Epidemiology Lab, led by Associate Professor of Urology Dr. Benjamin I. Chung at Stanford University, is seeking a talented scientist to join the research team. Kidney cancer incidence rates have steadily grown since the 1990s, with kidney cancer becoming the ninth most diagnosed cancer in the US. Kidney cancer, often detected incidentally by imaging, is an often-understudied neoplasm in cancer epidemiology research. Kidney cancer represents the deadliest urological neoplasm and has a dismal late-stage 5-year survival rate. The goal of this postdoctoral program is to conduct high-quality epidemiological research in the field of kidney cancer epidemiology (including prevention and screening, control, etiology, health disparities, treatment, and survivorship).

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A fully-funded postdoctoral fellowship is available in the laboratory of Jeffrey Goldberg, MD, PhD in the Department of Ophthalmology, Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg is Professor and Chair of Ophthalmology at the Byers Eye Institute. Why do cells in the eye and neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) fail to survive and regenerate after injury? Using primarily the retina and optic nerve as a model system our lab investigates why mature, central nervous system neurons fail to regenerate after injury, and how this failure depends on the regulation of gene expression and cellular signaling, during development and in the adult. Our research is directed at neuroprotection and regeneration of retinal ganglion cells and the optic nerve, a major unmet need in glaucoma and other optic neuropathies.
