Postdoctoral Position Available: Gene Regulation and Druggability of Normal and Tumor Stem Cells
Posted by mmarkstein, on 10 July 2015
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
Description
Postdoctoral positions are available in the Markstein Laboratory at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. We study how stem cells respond to natural and synthetic chemicals in the environment over the course of normal development and tumor progression. We recently showed that stem cells proliferate into small tumors in response to a subset of FDA approved chemotherapeutics, highlighting the clinical importance of understanding how stem cells respond to their chemical environment. We employ Drosophila genetics, chemical screening, tumor modeling, transgenics, genomics, and confocal microscopy. To learn more about our laboratory visit: http://marksteinlab.org.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will have recently completed their Ph.D. in molecular biology or a related field. Experience with Drosophila genetics and/or cell biology is highly desirable.
How to Apply
To apply, send a cover letter explaining your past and future research interests, plus your C.V. with contact information for three references. Email your application to Dr. Michele Markstein at mmarkstein [[at]] bio.umass.edu.
