Job Description - Post Doctoral Fellow (STA012367)Organization
H0104 BiologyDescription
Possesses, understands, and applies a comprehensive knowledge in area of specialization. Develops understanding and skills to allow for completion of assignments that cross fields of specialization. Develops leadership and management skills.Receives/Reviews progress and evaluates results of experiments or projects under control or supervisory responsibility.Recommends changes in research, testing or experimental procedures.May be responsible for a single highly technical and complex piece of research equipment.May review and evaluate the effectiveness of personnel.May plan for and assign personnel to projects under control.Operates with latitude for unreviewed action.May receive general supervision conferring with higher levels only in unusual situations.Performs other job-related duties as required.Qualifications
Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. is required. Ph.D. in Molecular Biology / Cell Biology / Biochemistry / Physiology or related field is preferred.We are looking for self-motivated individuals to become involved in the exciting and challenging environment of the laboratory. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to play a major role in the expansion of the laboratory. The successful candidate will also be exposed to many cutting-edge technologies in cell and molecular biology employed in the study of gastrointestinal diseases and carcinomas. The duties of the successful candidate will be to develop and conduct research projects in the laboratory in one or more areas through the utilization and modulation of mouse models in
in vivo
and
ex vivo
settings as well as the culture and modulation of
ex vivo
models of the gut using human intestinal stem cells. The environment in the laboratory promotes interaction with the principal investigator and other members of the lab.Notes to Applicant
Current research involves evaluation of the role of the actin cytoskeleton and actin-binding protein in normal epithelial cell physiology and in disease involving loss of epithelial cell function such as inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. The lab focus is on understanding how defects in the actin cytoskeleton impact cellular response to stress to initiate inflammatory bowel disease. Additional studies aim to understand how defects in cell migration impact intestinal repair mechanisms and promote metastatic disease. The lab uses multidisciplinary approaches that include biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, modulation of mouse models, and validation in human tissue.Salary
