Postdoctoral Research Associate - Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

Overview

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Samuel W. Brady. The lab focuses on identifying and therapeutically targeting key dependencies in pediatric solid tumors and cancer genomics, including mutational signatures.

• Experimental study of key pediatric cancer dependencies.
• Identification of new approaches to target them therapeutically, including studies of protein signaling, subcellular relocalization, pharmacological studies using existing small molecule inhibitors, and the study of newly-developed compounds and approaches to inhibit essential childhood cancer dependencies.
• Experimental study of mutational signatures in pediatric cancer (as needed).
• Interface with computational genomics colleagues in the lab.

• Recent PhD degree with a general background in cancer biology, pharmacology, and/or chemical biology.
• Familiarity with cancer models, protein analysis (such as Western blot and immunoprecipitation), microscopy, cell culture, and molecular biology techniques.
• Ambitious, proactive, and creative with strong interest in basic and translational cancer research.
