General information
Description & Requirements
The Proteomics Group Carr/Udeshi Lab at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard is looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral associate to develop and apply stateofthe art mass spectrometrybased proteomics technology to address compelling questions in biology chemistry and clinical medicine in a highly collaborative setting with groups in the greater Broad scientific community and beyond.
The specific research areas of immediate interest that this scientist could drive include:
Proteogenomic studies of a wide range of cancers.
Detailed studies of cellular signaling networks related to protein phosphorylation ubiquitylation or acetylation.
Chemical proteomics technologies such as thermal profiling and cell surface proteomics
to unveil intracellular and cellsurface protein drug targets.
Developing biological understanding of response and resistance to therapy
successful candidates will work in one or more of these areas together with an interdisciplinary team of clinicians biologists computational and proteomics scientists to deeply characterize and understand the proteomes of tumorderived material cells and biofluids.
The Broad Institute is a worldleading nonprofit research organization dedicated to realizing the promise of the postgenomic era for human benefit. Located in Cambridge MA with strong ties to MIT Harvard and world class Boston hospitals the Broad Institute brings together scientists of diverse backgrounds to solve critical problems in biology and medicine in an interdisciplinary manner. The Broad Institute and the embedded Proteomics Group have an outstanding trackrecord in training the next generation of research scientists. We(www.broadinstitute/proteomics) have a very strong track record in developing and applying proteomic technologies critical to address important questions in biology and medicine. We collaborate with toplevel international researchers throughout the world and results of these studies and our technology developments are published in toptier journals.
Qualifications
Candidates must have:
An Ph.D. Or MD PhD in areas such as analytical chemistry molecular biology biology
biochemistry computational biology or preferably interdisciplinary sciences merging
laboratory and bioinformatic skills
Excellent scientific productivity evidenced by highquality research publications in peer
reviewed journals
