Postdoctoral Fellowship: Gene regulation in Cancer

Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellowship: Gene regulation in Cancer

Job Number: 85110

Location: Washington, US

Job Description

Are you passionate about exploring signal-induced gene regulation in normal and cancerous cells? Are you interested in using cutting-edge technologies like genomics, functional genetics, and advanced microscopy to understand gene control? If so, we invite you to join our dynamic research team focused on mammalian gene regulation and cancer biology.

Position Overview: We are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to delve into the regulation of signal-activated gene programs, focusing on the non-coding genome in mammals. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work with:

NGS-based chromatin analyses
High-resolution microscopy and imaging
CRISPR and small-molecule screening
Biochemical and computational tools
In vitro systems and vertebrate models
This multidisciplinary approach will allow you to sharpen your skills in state-of-the-art technologies while fostering your ability to think independently and innovatively.

Why Join Us? You’ll work in an enriching environment with a strong mentorship culture, surrounded by a vibrant scientific community in the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia triangle. Our project will allow you to make a significant impact by contributing to the understanding of gene control and its implications in cancer therapeutics.

Qualifications:

A Ph.D. in biological sciences.
Preferably, hands-on experience with molecular biology, genomics, or animal models.
Experience with computational genomics analysis is a plus.
A strong record of peer-reviewed publications, with at least one as the first author in a top-tier journal.
Benefits: Georgetown University offers a competitive benefits package for you and your family, along with ample opportunities for professional growth in a world-class scientific environment.
