SUMMARY:Postdoctoral Scientist
DESCRIPTION:The Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine department is looking for a candidate that will work under the direct supervision of Dr. Mei-Yi Wu. He or she will be responsible for carrying out the research experiments. He or she will also participate in the weekly lab meeting\, and present and discuss the progress of the project with Dr. Mei-Yi Wu.  \nThe project focuses on two epigenetic modulators and members of the AT-rich interaction domain family\, ARID4A and ARID4B. Epigenetics plays an important role in human health and disease. Disruption of epigenetic modifications leads to dysregulation of gene function without altering the DNA sequence per se. A major challenge in understanding the importance of epigenetics in human health and diseases is to identify the specific epigenetic factors and the signaling involved. Currently\, we are investigating the role of ARID4A and ARID4B in development and cancer disease using state-of-the-art conditional knockout mouse models and genomic and proteomic approach. We also study the role of ARID4B in cancer stem cells that have been suggested as the major cause for therapy resistance and the driving force behind cancer metastasis and relapse. To investigate whether and how ARID4B drive cancer development\, we evalute the underlying molecular mechanisms by which ARID4B promotes therapy resistance and aggressive cancer.  \nDuties include: \n-Culture and transfection of mammial cells \n-Collecting samples for reporter gene assays \n-Western blooting to analyze protein expression \n-Cancer cell migration and invasion assays \n-Human cancer xenogrant experiments using SCID / NOD mice \n-The postdoc will also work with genetically modified mice \n-Ordering lab supplies\, lab maintenance and other duties as assigned \n-This position performs other duties as assigned. The omission of specific duties does not preclude the supervisor from assigning duties that are logically related to the position.  \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:  \nPreferred Qualifications: \nPh.D. degree\, with experience in molecular and cellular biology.

SUMMARY:Postdoc
DESCRIPTION:A postdoctoral position is immediately available within the Masri Lab at the University of California\, Irvine (UC Irvine). The Masri lab employs a systemic approach to understanding cancer metabolism that is linked to the circadian clock\, the biological pacemaker that regulates diurnal physiology. We are interested in two research questions. The first question relates to how genetic disruption of the circadian clock in mouse models alters tumorigenesis both at the level of initiation and disease progression. The second question is aimed at elucidating the systemic crosstalk between tumors and peripheral tissues and how cancer cells are able to rewire circadian metabolism at a distance.  \nWe are seeking independent and motivated postdoctoral candidates interested in a multi-disciplinary approach to tumorigenesis including: cancer metabolism\, circadian clock disruption\, and transcription and epigenetic control. The Masri lab utilizes genetic mouse models\, molecular and cell biology\, as well as genome-wide ‘omics’ approaches to determine changes in gene expression programs\, histone modifications\, and alterations in metabolites using metabolomics. In addition\, bioinformatics expertise is an advantage\, but certainly not required. Experience with mouse handling and experiments\, mammalian cell culture\, and routine molecular and cell biology are needed. Also\, at least 1 first author publication from the Ph.D. training period is required.  \nFor consideration\, applicants may send an email to Professor Selma Masri ( Masrilaboratory@gmail.com) with the following information:  \n\nBrief statement of research interests and future goals\nCV detailing research experience\, publications\, any fellowships obtained during the training period\, and other relevant information\nList of any manuscripts in preparation or currently under review\nNames of 3 references that are familiar with the research experience of the candidate and can provide letters of recommendation upon request

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.
