SUMMARY:Postdoc Research Fellow
DESCRIPTION:The Postdoc Rsh Fellow\, Epigenetic will function under the supervision of a Senior Scientist and Director of the Division of Genetics and Epigenetics. The laboratory has a long standing research program on epigenetics and DNA methylation in normal human development and in common diseases\, including cancer\, Down syndrome\, Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders\, and autoimmune diseases. Areas of current emphasis include mechanistic studies on genetic-epigenetic interactions that occur in cis and in trans\, using both human samples and mouse models\, and the use of epigenomic mapping as a ‘post-GWAS’ method to identify genes and DNA variants that underlie disease susceptibility. We are also studying epigenetically-acting anti-cancer drugs\, seeking to understand how these agents affect tumor cells and stromal and immune system cells in the tumor microenvironment. Opportunities for post-doctoral training in our group therefore encompass the areas of genome and epigenome analysis using whole genome and targeted approaches in human samples and informative mouse models\, the development of useful bioinformatic methods\, and pre-clinical studies of epigenetically-acting anti-cancer therapies and their effects on the tumor microenvironment in tumor-prone mouse models.\n\n\n\nResponsibilities\n\n\n\n1. Design and perform whole genome and epigenome analyses in human samples and appropriate mouse models\, for understanding mechanisms of disease susceptibility. 2. Develop and apply useful bioinformatic approaches to genomic and epigenomic data for testing mechanistic hypotheses. 3. Present results in internal and external research forums. 4. Participate in grant and manuscript writing\, as appropriate. 5. May design and conduct animal studies using murine models of cancer and Down syndrome. 6. May design and conduct immunological profiling studies in mouse models of Down syndrome and cancer.\n\n\n\nQualifications\n\n\n\nEducation\, Knowledge\, Skills and Abilities Required: 1. Hold a Ph.D. or M.D. Degree from an accredited medical school or graduate level institution. 2. Minimum publication or in preparation of two articles as first author in high quality peer-reviewed scientific journals. Education\, Knowledge\, Skills and Abilities Preferred: 1. Preferred methodologies include genomics/epigenomics\, bioinformatics\, and/or molecular analyses of cells and tissues in mouse models of human disease.

SUMMARY:Research Fellow
DESCRIPTION:The Arthanari Lab is seeking for a highly motivated postdoctoral candidate with expertise in transcriptional biology. Our laboratory works at the interface of structural biology\, drug discovery and mechanistic biology\, focusing on transcription factors and there interactions with co-activators and mediators (e.g. Nature. 201625;530(7591):485-9 ; Nature 2008. 452 (7187): 604-9) .Research efforts will be focused on the intersection of cancer biology/genetics and immune-oncology.\n\n\n\nQualifications\n\n\n\nThe candidate is expected to have a comprehensive understanding of signaling pathways\, epigenetics and transcription regulation. Experience in technical skills including cell culture\, somatic genetic analysis (e.g.\, CRISPr\, si\, sh RNA knockdown and rescue)\, protein biochemistry\, assay design and development and biological applications to advance discovery are preferred. The individual should be independent and passionate about science and have an established record of creativity\, ability to work in teams and strong publication record in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

SUMMARY:Research Fellow
DESCRIPTION:How to Apply\nA cover letter is required for consideration for this position and should be attached as the first page of your resume. The cover letter should address your specific interest in the position and outline skills and experience that directly relate to this position. \nJob Summary\nThe research in my laboratory is focused on understanding the molecular events important in pancreatic cancer development. A postdoctoral or research specialist position is now open for projects aimed at understanding pancreatic cancer biology. Research will be performed utilizing a variety of in vitro and in vivo approaches. \nResponsibilities*\nThe applicant is required to function in an independent fashion and be responsible of his/her own research project. In particular\, he/she will be expected to be able to design experiments\, initially under the PI’s guidance\, conduct experiments\, process and analyze data\, and potentially develop new and/or revise research methodologies. In addition\, the candidate will be expected to present his/her own work both at lab meetings as well as scientific conferences and to critically analyze literature relevant to the research. The successful candidate will be expected to be proficient at scientific writing\, and be able to prepare research papers. While funding is currently available for the position\, the candidate will be strongly encouraged to apply for his/her own funding\, under the PI’s guidance. \nAdditional work related tasks\, similar to but not specifically outlined above\, may be needed in position and while study continues to progress. \nRequired Qualifications*\nA doctoral degree and familiarity with basic laboratory techniques in molecular biology field is required for this position. Previous experience in the field of bioinformatics\, epigenetics\, and in vivo mouse models is a plus\, but not required. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are required. \nDesired Qualifications*\n\nThe candidate will be expected to be familiar with bioinformatics\, basic molecular and cell biology techniques\, and in vivo mouse model studies.\nAdditional expertise in epigenetics is a plus.
