Postdoctoral Fellow — Genomic Stability & DNA Repair

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; Boston (MA); In loco; USD 72.000 - 76.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston seeks a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for the D’Andrea Lab to explore the molecular basis of genomic stability and DNA repair mechanisms in human cancers. You will perform cutting-edge experiments, publish results, and contribute to the team’s scientific progress.

The role requires a PhD or MD and a strong background in DNA repair or cancer biology, with experience in mammalian cell culture and advanced molecular techniques.

Competenze

• PhD or MD in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics, or a related field.
• Strong background in DNA repair, cancer biology, or chromatin biology is preferred.
• Experience with mammalian cell culture, protein purification, and molecular cloning.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work both independently and in a team.
• Demonstrated ability to publish in peer-reviewed journals.

Mansioni

• Design and conduct experiments related to DNA repair pathways, replication fork stability, and ubiquitin signaling.
• Use advanced techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, protein biochemistry, mass spectrometry, and live-cell imaging.
• Analyze data, interpret results, and present findings at internal and external scientific meetings.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including medicinal chemists and clinical researchers.
• Contribute to manuscript writing and grant applications.
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to the overall research environment.
