　　A postdoctoral fellow position is available at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, to investigate ribosome biogenesis and ubiquitin signaling in hematopoietic stem cells. Dr. Tong’s laboratory studies ubiquitin signaling in hematopoietic stem cells, bone marrow failure, and leukemia. Hematopoietic stem cells give rise to all circulating blood cells throughout life. Maintenance of stem cell self-renewal, proliferation and differentiation is regulated by complex signaling pathways. Aberrant regulation leads to bone marrow failure or leukemia. The Tong laboratory found a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase that plays a critical role in ribosome biogenesis and thereby controls hematopoietic stem cell activity. This postdoctoral fellow position will focus on studying the mechanisms by which ubiquitin-dependent signaling and ribosome biogenesis in regulating stem cells and investigating how failures in these processes impact hematopoietic stem cell function that leads to bone marrow failure and/or leukemia.
