A post-doctoral research assistant is required to study the factors which
regulate the proliferation of human endometrium.

The successful applicant will apply the technique of reverse
transcription-polymerase chain reaction to demonstrate expression of growth
factors and their receptors from small numbers of human endometrial cells.
Development of RT-PCR to quantify expression of growth factors will be
undertaken.

In the second part of the project, transmembrane processing of the growth
factors will be studied and their effect on proliferation of human endometrial
cells will be determined.

This work will be undertaken in collaboration with the M.R.C. Molecular Genetics
Unit and is funded by a grant from Birthright for two years in the first
instance, to investigate basic mechanisms of menstrual dysfunction.

Stipend will be on the academic scale #10,460-#12,760 depending upon age and
qualification.  Applications in writing to include the names of two referees
together with a full CV to:  Mr R.C. Smith, Principal Assistant, Department of
Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Level 2, The Rosie Maternity Hospital, Robinson Way,
Cambridge, CB2 2SW.
