CAREERS

摘要

A US$25-million gift to the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, is creating hiring opportunities in four research areas for scientists at all career stages. The bequest will help the institute to move into innovative areas of research, says Marsha Chandler, Salk's executive vice-president. Salk is recruiting researchers in cancer, metabolism and neuroscience, and Chandler says that the gift will help the institute to bring in more computational infrastructure and expertise to support these and other research areas. The bequest is from philanthropist Conrad Prebys and puts Salk within sight of its $300-million fund-raising goal, Chandler says.
