Responsibilities

A post-doctoral position is immediately available to study the role of the chromatin remodeling factor ATRX in pediatric high-grade glioma. This is an exciting project that combines genetically engineered mouse models with genetic and epigenetic analysis performed under the supervision of Dr. Koschmann (Department of Pediatrics). The position will be supported by the Chad Carr Pediatric Brain Tumor Center, and inclose collaboration with Dr. Sriram Venneti (Department of Pathology and Department of Pediatrics).

The successful applicant will be responsible for designing and performing studies of a novel genetically engineered intra-uterine electroporation (IUE) mouse model of brain tumors with genetic and epigenetic profiling

Required Qualifications

The successful applicant will have PhD in Cancer, Neuroscience, Epigenetics, or related area of molecular or cellular biology. Expertise in molecular and cellular biology techniques including molecular cloning, cell culture, gene transfection/transduction, RNA, DNA, and protein studies is essential.

Desired Qualifications

Prior experience with gene editing and chromatin immunoprecipitation will be considered an asset. Experience with murine models of neurology-base disease and/or in vivo tumor studies is preferred.

Background Screening

Michigan Medicine conducts background screening and pre-employment drug testing on job candidates upon acceptance of a contingent job offer and may use a third party administrator to conduct background screenings. Background screenings are performed in compliance with the Fair Credit Report Act. Pre-employment drug testing applies to all selected candidates, including new or additional faculty and staff appointments, as well as transfers from other U-M campuses.
