Postdoctoral Position – Epigenetics of Genome Maintenance

​

Our ongoing research efforts aim to better understand how chromatin-associated RNAs, their modifications and secondary structures contribute to DNA repair. We have completed several screening efforts to identify novel RNA-based modulators of genome maintenance and cancer cell sensitivity to DNA damaging agents. We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly qualified individual to take on in-depth investigation of validated hits.

​

Candidates with expertise in any of the following are of particular interest: genome-wide chromatin and DNA lesion mapping approaches, RNA/DNA secondary structures, CRISPR/Cas9-based screening, associated bioinformatic analyses and/or animal work. Applicants must possess a Ph.D. or M.D. Ph.D. in molecular biology, biochemistry or a related field and should have no more than two years of post-doctoral experience.

 

Investigators are supported by a wide array of intellectual, technological, and research resources available through the Cancer Center and School of Medicine. The Johns Hopkins University further provides extensive opportunities for collaboration, and allows scientists and clinicians to undertake high-risk, high-impact laboratory- and clinic-based investigations.

 

Interested individuals should submit a single pdf containing curriculum vitae and bibliography, a brief summary of research interests, accomplishments and scientific experience, and the names and addresses of three references.
