Job Description

Postdoctoral Scholar in Cancer Biology

A postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Medicine, Section of Dermatology, at the University of Chicago. We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms of epithelial cancer and aging of the skin in order to develop effective targeted chemopreventive strategies. We are particularly interested in, but not limited to, regulations critical for genomic stability and inflammation including DNA repair, DNA damage response, epigenetics, and autophagy in cells and animal models.

Applicants must have a very recent Ph.D. or equivalent degree in the biological sciences. Demonstrated expertise in molecular, cellular biochemical techniques, and/or systems biology is preferred. Experience with mammalian cell culture, microscopy, immunoassays, molecular biology, animal models, and/or systems analysis of molecular interactions is desirable. Highly motivated individuals with excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively within a research team are encouraged to apply.
