SUMMARY:Post Doctoral Fellow (Trainee)
DESCRIPTION:Post-doctoral position available immediately at Northwestern University in the Feinberg School of Medicine in the Department of Urology. The selected candidate will take part in the collaboration with the department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics to work on the genetic\, epigenetic\, and immune mechanisms of cancer biology and epigenetic-based therapies. This role will use bladder cancer as a model system for solid-tumor biology.  \nThe main questions related to the research are:\n1) How does histone modification affect tumor aggressiveness and can this be used as a therapy?  \n2) How do epigenetics affect immune response?  \nMinimum qualifications include a strong publication history and a desire for independent research. Preferred qualifications include Individuals with experience in bioinformatics and animal models. Applicants with US citizenship or permanent residence are also desired.  \nProspective candidates will have the opportunity to submit publications\, as well as gain access to human trial specimens that will contribute to the next generation of therapies. In addition\, Northwestern University offers an extremely stimulating and nourishing academic environment\, with rich resources to facilitate career development for young scientists.  \nPlease send your cover letter\, CV\, and names of three references to Dr. Joshua Meeks at\, joshua.meeks@northwestern.edu and jmeeks@nm.org.  \nSpecific Responsibilities:\nTo oversee the molecular genetics lab including the maintain the supplies\, equipment and ordering of necessary materials; \nTo conduct laboratory experiments including mutation analysis and in situ hybridization as well as others to study melanoma cancer; \nTo help write grants and compete for funding; \nTo supervise students and other techs working in the genetics lab; \nTo help write and contribute to publications resulting from research done in the lab; \nPerforms other duties as assigned.  \nMinimum Qualifications:\nPh.D. training in genetics or molecular biology competent in PCR\, mutational analysis\, and DNA sequencing.  \nMinimum Competencies:\nMust have good computer skills\, including knowledge of how to use MS Excel.  \nPreferred Qualifications:\nPh.D. training in genetics\, cancer biology\, or molecular biology.  \nPreferred Competencies:\nExperienced in PCR\, gene mutational analysis\, and DNA sequencing.
