Postdoctoral Fellow (Ranish)
Seattle, OR - USA
Job Summary
The Ranish Group is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to conduct research investigating
the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms underlying hematopoietic stem cell differentiation and how
defects in the process lead to diseases such leukemia and b-thalassemia. To accomplish this goal the lab
is developing mass spectrometry-based technologies to quantify the transcription factor proteome in
purified populations of differentiating erythroid cells. The data is being integrated with other
transcription-relevant -omics data to model the transcriptional regulatory networks underlying
hematopoiesis. The models are then used to guide experiments to understand how specific transcription
factors drive cell fate decisions. The successful applicant will be expected to design execute analyze
and troubleshoot the experiments.
This position is contingent upon funding expected to be received around July 2026.
Key responsibilities include
- Development and application of mass spectrometry-based proteomics technologies
- Recombinant protein expression and purification
- Molecular biology assays
- Discuss and present research at internal meetings
- Manuscript preparation
Qualifications:
- PhD in analytical chemistry or biomedical sciences (i.e. molecular/cellular biology or
biochemistry)
- Strong interest in mass spectrometry-based proteomics and gene regulation
- Ability to organize and prioritize work work efficiently and independently
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
All ISB staff members are expected to have baseline technical skills and the ability to communicate
effectively and appropriately over email the intranet/forum etc. Employees should be able to use
Word Excel Outlook and PowerPoint at a functional level.
Benefits information: annual pay is $80169
