SUMMARY:Research Associate 2
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine has an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate 2. This position will be based in Dr. Luisa Cimmino’s laboratory which focuses on how epigenetic regulators\, such as the Ten-Eleven-Translocation (TET) dioxygenases\, modulate DNA methylation to influence cell fate and are frequently mutated in patients with leukemia. Dietary nutrients have been shown to play a profound influence on blood cell production and in the progression of leukemia. We have recently shown that vitamin C\, acts as a cofactor of TET dioxygenases to enhance and restore TET function in pre-leukemic and leukemic cells (Cimmino et al. Cell\, 2017; Cimmino et al. Trends in Cell Biology\, 2018). These studies highlight the importance of the micronutrient environment in maintaining the activity of critical epigenetic regulators that drive and influence disease progression and reveal potentially novel strategies to therapeutically target epigenetic dysregulation. \n\nThe minimum qualifications for this position are as follows: Bachelor’s Degree in a life science discipline as well as at least two years of laboratory experience\, preferably in the fields of immunology\, blood cancer\, or epigenetics. Experience in research techniques including DNA/RNA isolation\, PCR\, sequencing\, western blotting\, mammalian tissue culture\, flow cytometry\, microscopy\, library screening\, and mouse monitoring and handling.

SUMMARY:Post Doctoral Scientist
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Peng’s research focuses on understanding how things work in the context of biological systems\, using both data-driven and modeling approaches. Unique to biological systems is their emergent complexity and self-organization\, which is deeply connected to gene regulation. Understanding gene regulation has been a major focus of molecular biology. Genetic information is encoded in the linear sequence of DNA\, and despite all cells in the human body having the same genetic information\, they each behave quite differently. For example\, skin cells and immune cells exhibit dramatically distinct functions and morphologies. This occurs because different types of cells have different sets of genes turned on or off\, a feature called epigenetics. How is this achieved? It turns out that potentially stable and heritable information\, i.e. epigenetic information\, is encoded outside of the primary DNA sequence. Nature has developed a sophisticated system of proteins (“writers”\, “erasers” and “readers”) to manipulate this epigenetic information. The epigenetic marks and respective regulators play a critical role in establishing cell identity; their dysregulation is a major hallmark of diseases like cancer. Our research aims to understand gene regulation\, with a special focus on the epigenetic aspect. \nJob Duties Include: \n\nApplication of methodologies: Development and application of analysis methodologies to characterize novel epigentic and post-transcriptional regulatory pathways.\n\n\nIntegrative analysis of multi-omics data to decifer gene regulatory network in immune systems.\n\n\nInteraction with remote collaborator.\n\n\nPresent finding at Professional Conferences\n\n\nSmall amount of administrative work as needed.\n\n\nPerforms other related duties as assigned. The omission of specific duties does not preclude the supervisor from assigning duties that are logically related to the position.\n\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: \n\nPhD in computational biology\, bioinformatics\, (bio)statistics\, computer science\, physical science or a similar field.\n\n\nStrong programming and quantitative background are required.\n\n\nPrevious experience in computational genomics and/or machine-learning approaches are desirable.\n\n\nPossess strong motivation\, critical thinking ability and effective communication skills. A candidate with exceptional qualification in wet lab may also be considered.

SUMMARY:Postdoctoral Associate
DESCRIPTION:A Postdoctoral Associate position is available in the laboratory of Alexey Terskikh\, Development\, Aging\, and Regeneration Program. The position focuses on the novel approach to study the dynamics of 3D epigenetics landscape at a single cell level. The Postdoctoral Associate will explore the capability of Microscopic Imaging of Epigenetic Landscape (MIEL) and fluorescence-based reporters enabling live imaging of epigenetic modifications at a single cell level. MIEL combines fluorescence detection of epigenetic marks with automated cell imaging and machine learning to profile and quantify the “epigenetic signatures” of individual cells. \nThe candidate will investigate the epigenetic heterogeneity at the single cell level and the asymmetry during stem cell division in normal neurogenesis and in brain tumors. One of the long-standing question of this project is to determine whether the outcome of stem cell division is stochastic or deterministic and whether such outcome could be predicted based on the epigenetic signature of the mother cell. \nEducation and/or Experience: \nInterested candidates must have a Ph.D. degree in any discipline of Biological Sciences. Skills in tissue culture\, cell and molecular biology\, fluorescent microscopy\, computational biology and writing skills are required. Experience with transgenic mice model is highly desirable. Applications should be submitted online to the SBP career job site and should include a cover letter\, CV\, and references or publications as one PDF file.

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
