私の世話になっていたグラスゴーのラボでポスドクを募集しています．脳虚血の遺伝子治療のプロジェクトです．興味のある方は申し込んで下さい．急ぎの話のようです．in vivoの脳虚血ばかりでなく，神経細胞培養系，遺伝子治療（とくにベクターの開発）いずれか一つのテクニックを持っていれば歓迎されるようです．
選考は特定のコネとは無縁で，世界各国からの応募者との公平な競争になります．ただし，このラボには日本人が継続的に出入りしていい仕事をしているので，日本人に対する評価は高いです．
2 post-doctoral positions of 2 years duration, which are available at the Wellcome Surgical Institute and Institute of Neurological Sciences, Southern General Hospital.

POST DOCTORAL SCIENTISTS: 2 POSTS
NOVEL TARGETING FOR THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION IN STROKE
PAY: 19,482-20,465 STERLING POUNDS PER YEAR
This project involves the recent identification of novel proteins which are specifically up-regulated during cerebral ischaemia (stroke). The aim of the project is to show that these proteins are of therapeutic significance and that they can be used as targets to limit brain damage associated with stroke. The project will assess: i) The therapeutic potential of the proteins per se following delivery by a virulent herpes simplex virus and ii) Their use as targets for small molecule intervention. The focus is on strategic development of first line treatments. The applicants should have a strong background in vivo and in vitro models of ischaemic damage and/or molecular biology with particular emphasis on virus vector development. These are Scottish Executive, Scottish Enterprise funded posts for 2 years in the first instance and will be based at the Institute of Neurological Sciences and The Wellcome Surgical Institute, Glasgow. Immediate start.
