>01/20/00 Postdoctoral Position
>
>The Nutrition Department at UC Davis has an opening for a postdoctoral
>fellow. Primary duties involve conducting in vivo human studies aimed
>at characterizing the environmental and genetic factors that modulate
>the utilization of nutrients. Biokinetic data from blood and urine
>compartments will be used to define the individual response to dietary
>nutrients. The approach is akin to that used in the pharmacokinetic
>field for defining the dynamics of drug metabolism. Radioactive and
>stable isotopically labeled forms of folic acid, beta-carotene, and
>vitamin A are administered orally or infused intravenously in human
>subjects. Appling the principles of isotope dilution, the fate and
>distribution of the isotope is determined using a combination of HPLC,
>MS and Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS). A significant partner in
>these studies are scientists at Lawrence Livermore National
>Laboratories, where the AMS instrument is housed. Prior experience in
>mass spectrometry and biometabolite isolation and analysis is
>desirable. Candidates with proven analytical skills will be viewed
>preferentially. Basic molecular skills are also a plus. The candidate
>must also be able to travel monthly to Lawrence Livermore
>Laboratories. This is an exciting opportunity to perform in vivo
>human research using state-of-the-art instrumentation. A two year
>commitment is desired.
