Description
Ovarian Cancer Metabolomics and Proteomics
Postdoctoral Fellow
Gordon Lab - Emory University Atlanta USA
Position Description:
The Gordon Laboratory seeks a motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to spearhead cutting-edgemetabolomics studies focused on developing ovarian cancer diagnostics andtherapeutics.
Ovarian cancer is among the most fatal cancers for women. Since it is often detected at a late stage (Stage 3 / 4) these patients suffer from very poor survival rates therefore earlydetection of ovarian cancer is essential for improving clinical outcomes. Ovarian cancer is alsocharacterized by drug resistance therefore new treatments for ovarian cancer are crucial forimproved outcomes. This project will utilize cutting edge metabolomics proteomics and cellbasedfunctional assays.
Minimum qualifications include:
- Metabolomics mass spectrometry and metabolomics data analysis
Preferred qualifications include:
- Cancer model systems (e.g. animal models organoids cell culture models relevant functional assays).
- Proteomics mass spectrometry and/or proteomics data analysis
- Biochemistry expertise (e.g. protein interaction studies HPLC operation etc.)
- Molecular biology and experimental genetics (siRNA CRISPR PCR DNA cloning etc.)
- DNA sequence analysis (Snapgene Geneious or other DNA analysis tools)
- Experience analyzing large datasets
The Gordon Lab pioneers advanced mass spectrometry experimental genetics andcomputational approaches to map biochemical networks and functional pathwaysand leverages this information for improved therapeutics. Based in the Emory
University Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine we have ample access toprimary tissue samples and our affiliation with the Winship Cancer Center Discovery andDevelopmental Therapeutics Program supports translation of our research into therapeutic approaches. Additionally our affiliation with the Pathology Translational Research Unitprovides extraordinary collaboration opportunities towards data-driven analyses and synergywith world-leading immunologists. Lastly our work with Georgia Tech through the Center forthe Study of Systems Biology (CSSB) and the Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineeringenables transformative collaborations in technology development including computationalprediction of molecular interactions. Notably our research program includes academic nonprofitand industry collaborations.
Our Culture: We strongly believe that the best science emerges from an environment ofgenerous collaboration reinforced by a culture of learning curiosity and the sharing of skillsand advice. In considering new members of our group we value a positive can-do attitudeevidence of previous success in laboratory environments and attention to detail. This is a superb opportunity for a sharp scientist to rapidly develop new research skills andspearhead impactful projects in a supportive learning environment.
