Job Summary
About the Work Unit:
The Bhowmick Lab located in the Department of Biochemistry at Vanderbilt University is seeking a highly
motivated and enthusiastic research technician who will have the opportunity to gain expertise in molecular
biology and biochemistry. The labs primary focus is studying genome instability in cancer which is a critical
characteristic of cancer cells enabling them to adapt and evolve under constant proliferation. The labs
ultimate goal is to unravel the intricate molecular mechanisms that underpin the maintenance of genome
stability understand how cancer cells subvert these mechanisms and develop innovative strategies to target
these vulnerabilities. Ultimately we endeavor to pioneer transformative approaches in cancer therapeutics
advancing the frontiers of scientific understanding and clinical intervention. The lab primarily relies on
biochemistry and molecular biology techniques as well as genomics proteomics and CRISPR screens.
The Bhowmick lab is currently seeking a research technician who will be primarily responsible for
conducting research with some time dedicated to maintaining the labs infrastructure. The new research
technician will receive direct guidance and mentorship from the Principle Investigator Dr. Bhowmick in
