Post-Doc Position in Melanoma Genomics
A post-doctoral position is available on molecular analyses of melanocytic neoplasia. The study focuses on the genetic and transcriptomic changes that arise in neoplastic and host cells as melanomas evolve from pre-neoplastic lesions. The work will involve the analysis of genomic DNA and RNA from clinical samples to identify characteristic somatic alterations, mutation patterns and gene expression changes to inform subsequent functional analyses in suitable model systems to delineate the functional contribution of candidate genes to the clinical phenotype and identify potential diagnosis and prognostic biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets.
Profile:
We are looking for ambitious, organized, and highly-motivated candidates interested in translational biomedical research. The ideal candidate must have earned an M.D. or Ph.D. in a related field, have experience in molecular genetics, cancer biology, bioinformatics, and general molecular biology techniques. Expertise in next-generation sequencing and analysis of high-throughput data is a plus.
