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

SUMMARY:Associate Research Scientist
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Pathology and Cell Biology at the Columbia University Medical Center is recruiting an Associate Research Scientist in the laboratory of Dr. Kevin Gardner. The incumbent will study the basic mechanisms of epigenetic gene regulation in breast cancer. The position will have an integrated focus on fundamental mechanisms of chromatin-based transcriptional control and epigenetic regulation with an emphasis on the role of metabolic imbalance in regulating these pathways in breast cancer (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2009 Nov 17;106(46):19286-91; Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2010 Dec;17(12):1406-13; Nat Commun. 2012 Jan 17;3:633; Nat Commun. 2013;4:1449). Major goals include understanding the role of metabolism and transcriptional cross-talk between epigenetic co-regulators and hormone receptor-mediated signaling pathways in both enhancer function and promoter-targeted mechanisms of gene control. An essential component of this work will involve developing omic perspectives that will integrate next-generation sequencing with genomics\, transcriptomics\, epigenomics\, proteomics and metabolomics using model systems and patient-derived samples. The projects will be supported by access to an established cohort of diverse breast cancer patient samples with extensive molecular and genomic characterization to aid in developing translation perspectives in gene-network and pathway discovery that will have practical implications for improving breast cancer diagnosis\, treatment\, and prevention.  \nOther responsibilities will include:  \nManaging the day to day operations of the laboratory. \nMaintenance of cell lines and carrying out immunoprecipitation assays. Ordering and maintaining inventory of laboratory supplies. Keeping track of orders and confirming billing. Setting up and performing experiments involving tissue culture\, western blot\, DNA\, RNA\, analysis. Maintaining records pertaining to the laboratory\, including records of experimental results. \nOperating\, maintaining and troubleshooting complex equipment (e.g. ABI 7300 Real-Time PCR system). \nAssisting in the training of new hires and other supporting staff. Enforcing safety regulations and helping to train students and fellows in laboratory procedures. Performing other related duties as necessary to the functioning of the laboratory.

SUMMARY:Postdoctoral Fellow
DESCRIPTION:Postdoc Positions Focusing on Gene Regulation in Cancer Progression \nMultiple postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Jason Liu (http://molecularmedicine.uthscsa.edu/FAC_Research.aspx?facID=206) in the Department of Molecular Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio \nThe focus of the lab is studying enhancer function and epigenetic mechanism in gene regulation in cancer progression. Selected candidates will perform highly interdisciplinary and collaborative scientific research in one or more of the following projects\, working with human cell lines\, mouse models and clinical samples: \n(1) Explore the function of signaling-regulated enhancers in breast and prostate cancers\, and understand how enhancers are regulated by the crosstalk of different signaling pathways including sex hormones\, inflammation signals and metabolic signals; \n(2) Decipher the epigenetic and chromatin 3D level changes in enhancers upon developmental/pathological stimuli or during hormone/drug resistance acquisition; \n(3) Identify diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cancer and develop drugs for pre-clinical studies and potential clinical applications. \nOur research integrates next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based technologies and bioinformatics tools to investigate the component\, epigenetic\, and 3D level changes of enhancers in cancers \n(refer to Cell\, 2014 159: 358–373). We are efficiently combining biochemical\, cellular\, and animal model-related studies with different NGS-based assays. Our research program will help the trainees from both wet and dry lab sides to build up strong expertise and training record in molecular biology and multi-omics (genomics\, transcriptomics\, proteomics\, epigenomics and metabolomics). \nPositions require a Ph.D. degree (or equivalent) in biochemistry\, cell biology\, cancer biology\, bioinformatics\, or closely related biological sciences. The candidates need to have high motivation and strong molecular biology background. Any prior experience in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models\, breast/prostate cancer\, and computational analyses will be valued. \nSan Antonio is one of the fastest growing cities. The UTHSCSA is the largest university of health science in South Texas and one of four medical schools in the UT System. The affiliated Cancer Therapy & Research Center (CTRC) is one of the NCI-designated national cancer centers in the state of Texas. A competitive salary and benefits package will be provided. \nTo apply: \nPlease send the application package in one single pdf file including a cover letter briefly describing your previous experience and your future research interest/plan\, curriculum vitae with list of publications\, and contact information of at least three references to the following email. You are also welcome to send any inquiries or questions you might have. \nContact information: \nDr. Jason Liu \nDepartment of Molecular Medicine \nThe University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio \n7703 Floyd Curl Drive \nSan Antonio\, TX\, 78229-3900 \nEmail: LiuZ7@uthscsa.edu
