We now search for a translational scientist to head the clinical aspects of an expanding program. We are currently developing novel CLIA assays as well as methodologies to perform genomic analysis to identify somatic and germline mutations\, evaluate transcriptome expression using RNA-sequencing\, and characterize immune repertoires using next generation sequencing. We have developed robust applications for data analysis and anticipate that the person leading this group will utilize these other tools they develop to enhance personalized care for cancer patients and prospective clinical trials. The position is tenure track and open to those at all ranks. Applicants should provide evidence of a strong record of clinical\, translational or basic approaches to broad areas of genetics\, genomics\, gene expression\, epigenetics\, proteomics\, tumor immunology\, and/or precision early cancer detection and prevention. Applications will be reviewed by search committee chair Chuck Perou\, PhD and the committee beginning January 1\, 2018 and until the position is filled.

SUMMARY:Staff Scientist
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Roberts’ lab studies the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. In particular we are studying chromatin-modifying proteins with a major focus on the SWI/SNF (BAF) chromatin remodeling/tumor suppressor complex and its relationship to cancers. Recent studies have revealed that genes encoding subunits of the SWI/SNF complex are mutated in over 20% of all cancers\, a rate approaching that of p53\, making this the most frequently mutated chromatin regulator in human malignancies. Research in the Roberts laboratory is designed to discover the mechanism by which SWI/SNF complex contributes to the regulation of gene expression and lineage specification\, and the mechanisms by which mutation of the tumor suppressor subunits drives cancer formation.  We also seek to identify specific vulnerabilities that are conferred by SWI/SNF mutation with the goal of identifying novel therapeutic opportunities. \nWe seek an ambitious scientist with a strong background in molecular biology\, cell biology\, cancer biology\, and/or genetics/epigenetics of tumorigenesis. Currently there are several projects ongoing in the laboratory involving the use of a variety of model systems that have been engineered in the lab including preclinical models\, primary cells\, and cell lines as well as the use of large sequencing\, CRISPR\, and drug vulnerability data sets. \n\nCandidates should have published in peer-reviewed journals. A prerequisite is experience in basic methods of molecular biology and biochemistry. \n\n\n\nMinimum Experience\n\n\n\n\nA minimum of five (5) years of relevant and productive postdoctoral research associate experience is required\n\n\n\n\nMinimum Education\n\n\n\n\nA Ph.D. in an appropriate scientific field is required
