Responsibilities
Seeking postdoctoral fellow with interest and expertise in neurooncology molecular neurobiology multiomics and cancer epigenetics to work on highimpact projects in the field of glioma biology surrounded by the intellectually stimulating cancer environment at Mount Sinai in NYC.
The labs main research question is to understand how brain tumor (glioma) cells coopt normal neurodevelopmental molecular programs to maintain their malignant cancer stem celllike phenotype focusing on the role of epigenetics and transcriptional regulation. We employ cutting edge computational multiomics tools combined with cell culture and animal studies using patientderived glioma models. Currently R01funded research spans mechanistic (functional genomic and computational) to translational (preclinical drug efficacy) studies with a focus on the role of Hippo signaling in glioma invasion and progression.
Technical Duties: (include any protocols)
In vitro cell culture experience preferably in the field of neuroscience and/or cancer biology
Molecular biology experience (DNA/RNA/Proteinbased assays; Epigenetic assays; Cloning; knockdown/knockout using siRNA/lentivirus; etc)
Live cell imaging Confocal microscopy Histology
In vivo animal care orthotopic surgery drug delivery (optional)
Bioinformatics coding in R processing and analysis of NGS data (optional)
Educational and other Requirements for the position:
Qualifications
PhD required
Strong background in either pure experimental neurobiology (cell culture and animal modeling) or in computational biology and bioinformatics with some experimental biology skills preferably in the field of cancer biology or neurobiology. Strong motivation and dedication towards independent scientific career in academia. Strong work ethic ability to multitask and work in a collaborative team setting.
For applicants with computational background at least some experience in sample processing and analysis of bulk and single cell next generation sequencing data is required including familiarity with UNIX submitting jobs on a computing cluster and programming experience in python R (or equivalent).
