SUMMARY:Post Doctoral Scientist
DESCRIPTION:A Postdoctoral Scientist position is available for a skilled and motivated scientist in the Laboratory of Dr. Maho Shibata in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology and the Cancer Center at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. \nDr. Shibata’s lab applies concepts from developmental biology and stem cell biology to prostate cancer research. The lab uses genetically engineered mouse models\, explant cultures\, and 3D organoid culture systems to study androgen signaling during prostate development\, and to identify novel molecular drivers of castration-resistant prostate cancer. There are multiple project possibilities. \nDuties include: \n\nIndependently design experiments\, collect and analyze data\, and assist collaborators\nPresent findings in group meetings and internal and external scientific meetings\nPrepare and submit postdoctoral fellowship applications\nWrite and publish research manuscripts\nSupervise and train students\nPerform other duties as assigned. The omission of specific duties does not preclude the supervisor from assigning duties that are logically related to the position.\n\nOur lab is located in the George Washington University (GW) Cancer Center in the highly urban center of Washington DC\, on the top floor of the state-of-the-art Science and Engineering Hall\, which opened in 2016. The GW Cancer Center brings together cancer research\, clinical cancer care\, and cancer control/prevention and outreach initiatives at GW. The District of Columbia faces prominent health disparities in several cancers\, including prostate cancer. For example\, cancer mortality among African Americans in D.C. is 10.9% higher than the national average. D.C. also has the highest percentage of individuals identifying as lesbian\, gay\, bisexual or transgender (LGBT\, 10% of the District’s population) when compared to the 50 U.S. states\, and the largest number of same-sex couple households. GW is developing initiatives that address cancer within these communities\, and will endeavor to become a national leader in advocating for policies to better understand and address health disparities.\nGW has demonstrated a strong commitment to cancer research by recruiting expert researchers in establishing the GW Cancer Center to grow and diversify cancer research locally. The training and education of the next generation of young cancer researchers is one of the GW Cancer Center’s top priorities. \nMinimum Qualifications: \nQualified candidates will hold a PhD in a related discipline. Degree must be conferred by the start date of the position. \nAdditional Required Licenses/Certifications/Posting Specific Minimum Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: \nPhD experience in one or more of the following: cancer biology\, mouse development\, mouse genetics\, stem cell biology\, epigenetics\, computational biology\nAt least 1 first author peer-reviewed publication
