The focus of the basic and translational research in this laboratory includes the biology and developmental therapeutics related to epigenetic mechanisms involving histone deacetylases, methyltransferases and demethylases, as well as the chaperone biology of heat shock proteins and their cancer relevant client proteins regulating cell growth, differentiation and survival of the human leukemia stem/progenitor cells.
The qualified candidate must possess a Ph.D. in Biology, Biological Sciences, Life Sciences or other field; a keen interest in cancer research; excellent English skills (both written and verbal); and current U.S. work authorization. The candidate must have completed a 3-year Post-doctoral fellowship in an area relevant to the focus of research in Dr. Kapil Bhalla’s laboratory. The qualified candidate must have the ability to troubleshoot in the design and conduct of the laboratory studies. Experience in molecular studies involving gene transfection, analysis of gene expression through QPCR, microarrays, immunoblots and flow cytometry, as well as experience in chromatin immunoprecipitation studies, evaluation of protein biochemistry with 2D gels and the yeast-two-hybrid system, and tissue culture techniques is required. Experience in the ability to utilize CRISPR technology for gene editing and to utilize confocal microscopy for molecular imaging is highly desired. Experience in xenograft and genetically-engineered animal models of cancer and/or leukemia, and confocal microscopy is also desired. An outstanding research environment, new laboratory and core facilities, as well as competitive compensation are provided.
Applicants and recruits who are extended an offer will be screened to ensure they’re tobacco free. All applicants and recruits who test positive for tobacco use, beyond what’s acceptable with tobacco cessation therapies, are not eligible for hire.
