Dear confocal listserv,

Are you ready for a change? ... assuming you are not employed in Texas
already.

CPRIT announced today 3 new Requests for Applications for academics. See
the website for previously announced academic RFAs and commercial
opportunities. If you want to cure cancer -- or even just help cure
cancer -- I recommend working with M.D. Anderson Cancer Center for your
move. There is a particular sequence of things you and the prospective
host institution need to do.

Postdocs: "First-Time" means you.

Best wishes,
George

Dear all

I can only echo George's post. CPRIT is a great funding opportunity if you want
to have a shot at cancer, but y'all have to come to Texas!

Besides MD Anderson, UT Southwestern in Dallas is also a great place to do
cancer research, with a steadily growing department of cell biology that has a
lot of drive and enthusiasm and the adjacent large university hospital for
collaborations. If you want to look at cancer cells, you can get patient derived
one, just as an example.

MD Anderson and UTSW have already recruited some great experts in the field
but there is room and money for more labs and talent.

I for my part enjoy shooting ultrafast lasers at cancer cells and tumors, partly
funded by CPRIT.

Best,
Reto
