BACKGROUND

Three-dimensional cell culture models have emerged as effective systems to study tissue differentiation and cancer behavior. If cancer is fundamentally a disease of aberrant multicellular organization, then understanding the effects of the tissue microenvironment (e.g., engineered matrices), cellular and molecular variables, and possible therapeutic interventions on the oncogenic phenotype requires the development and use of more sophisticated models that can approximate cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions in vivo.

Position requires designing innovative experiments for identifying stress responses in co-cultured multicellular systems, validating markers, and designing prognostic assays. This is an exciting position where applicant will be conducting research with a multidisciplinary team of molecular and computational biologists. Applicant will be supported by a strong team computational and informatics staff for quantifying dynamics of multicellular organization.

There is a tremendous amount of growth for innovation and career development.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Design innovative experiments for characterizing stress responses in multicellular systems
Establish a pipeline for high throughput imaging of multicellular system
Skilled in molecular biology and cloning strategies
Publish research materials in leading journals
Maintain a clear record of research progress and data collected, and Assist PI in developing reports and new proposals

REQUIREMENTS

Ph.D. or equivalent experience in molecular biology, cell biology, and protein biochemistry techniques as evidenced by publications
Skilled in 3D cell cultured models and engineered matrices
Applicant must be an expert in fluorescent microscopy, live cell imaging, sample preparation, and maintain the required safety records.
Skilled in RNA collection
Excellent communication skills with ability to follow verbal and written instructions and ability to organize and document research results accurately
Ability to prioritize assignments and meet deadlines
Knowledge of working for plants and microorganisms is desirable.

TERMS

This is a 1-year, term appointment with the possibility of renewal for up to 5 years based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds, and ongoing operational needs.
