Seeking a highly motivated, organized, and responsible individual to lead a major component of our new cancer genetics and epigenetics lab, as a foundation for their career advancement in academia or industry. Candidates will leverage cancer genomics and epigenomics data that we have generated in a variety of pediatric and adult brain tumors to undertake experiments in functional discovery, validation, as well as the development of integrated large-scale datasets using new genetic technologies. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a willingness to learn new concepts and technical skills, but most importantly harbor an enthusiasm for working in a team-based environment and interfacing with national and international collaborative efforts.
Qualified candidates will have a strong background in aspects of molecular and cellular biology, developmental and stem cell biology, neurobiology, neuroscience, chromatin biology/epigenetics, and/or cancer biology, substantiated by first author publications in high-impact journals. Direct hands-on experience with in vivo functional studies and/or the biological characterization of gene/protein function are required for this position. In addition, competitive candidates will be proficient with molecular cloning, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, recombinant virus preparation and transduction, primary and stem cell culture, iPS cell and/or organoid propagation, and a wide spectrum of molecular, biochemical, and cellular assays. Excellent written and communication skills, ability to effectively collaborate with fellow trainees and scientists, and execute tasks in a timely manner are highly desired.
Responsibilities
Independently lead research studies focused on the biology of pediatric brain tumors
Support internal and external collaborations with other wet- and dry-lab scientists
Adopt new tools and techniques according to evolving lab priorities
Provide technical training for new lab members
Assist the PI with writing of protocols, grant applications, and manuscripts
Minimum Education
Bachelors degree in relevant scientific area is required.
Minimum Experience
Seven (7) years of relevant post-degree work experience is required
Five (5) years of relevant post-degree work experience is required with a Masters degree
Three (3) years of relevant post-degree work experience is required with a PhD
