Summary
Our brain tumor research laboratory is currently seeking outstanding young scientists to join our group as Postdoctoral Research Fellows (PHD). Successful candidates will be recent PhD graduates. Who possess a high level of energy and curiosity, and who are interested in making fundamental discoveries in understanding the molecular biology of brain tumours, and in pursuing eventual independent careers in academic research. Research approaches in our group include genomics, cell biology, functional genomics, mouse modeling, developmental biology, stem cell biology, and translational 'mouse-hospital' approaches. Projects in the laboratory are all focussed on malignancies of the central nervous system, and many have a direct connection to the clinic or to patient tumours. We are very interested in understanding recurrent and metastatic cancer, as this is the patient population in which most clinical trials are undertaken. Understanding the molecular basis of metastasis and recurrence after standard therapy could result in rapid clinical translation of novel therapies.
Job Duties
- Plans, directs and conducts specialized and advanced research experiments.
- Conducts evaluation, analysis and interpretation of data (whole-genome, whole-exome, ChIP-seq and RNAseq) in light of tumour evolution, with the aim of understanding the underlying dynamics of tumour growth, relapse, metastases and progression.
- Evaluates and analyzes data.
- Conducts functional studies of pediatric brain tumors, both in vitro and in vivo, using and generating mouse models, manipulation of mouse ES cells, study of human brain cancer xenografts, and use of human iPS cells.
- Studies gene function during normal mammalian brain development, and how abnormalities in normal brain development lead to the development of brain cancers.
- Establishes new research protocols and procedures.
- Summarizes research findings and publish results in research journals.
- Maintains laboratory operations.
- Supervises research staff.
Minimum Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Basic Science, Health Science, or a related field.
- No experience required.
Preferred Qualifications
- Previous training in biochemistry or cell biology and possesses exceptional computational skills.
Baylor College of Medicine is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action/Equal Access Employer.
