Job Description
We are looking for a motivated and creative postdoctoral fellow to join our diverse team researchers and contribute through their efforts to our discovery, innovation, education, and collaboration initiatives in a collegial and respectful working environment. Successful candidates will utilize cutting-edge functional genomics methodologies, targeting whole animals (mice), single cells, single molecules, and diverse bioinformatic pipelines to elucidate the proteotoxic sources of missing heritability in cancer and other age-related diseases. The project also makes extensive use of CRISPR-based genome engineering, robot-assisted high-throughput biochemistry, and spatial multi-omics approaches to determine how protein homeostasis networks shape cancer evolution. This strategy is designed to identify novel cancer therapies that limit the ability of tumors to evolve therapy resistance. The postdoctoral fellow is expected to contribute to the grant-writing and manuscript-writing initiatives i...
