Postdoctoral Fellow, RUNX Proteins in Breast Cancer and/or Osteosarcoma

Updated: over 1 year ago
Location: Bethesda, MARYLAND
Deadline: The position may have been removed or expired!

The RUNX family proteins are transcription factors that regulate diverse and tissue-specific pathways. Recent studies show that RUNX proteins have important roles in breast cancer and osteosarcoma etiology. The successful candidate will investigate molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the functions of RUNX protein in either breast cancer or osteosarcoma, depending on her/his interest and previous background/training. The overarching goal is to identify new translational strategies to treat breast cancer and osteosarcoma based on the results of this study. The research will be performed at the Laboratory of Cancer Biology and Genetics, NCI, NIH (Bethesda campus).


Qualifications:

Requirements include a strong background in molecular, cell, and tumor biology. Good communication skills are necessary. Experiences in transcriptional regulation, epigenetics, immunology, and/or mouse models are a plus. This job does not require the candidate to have experience in RUNX proteins, but working with a transcription factor is preferred. Successful candidates must be expected to obtain a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree within three months or have less than one year of postdoctoral experience at the time of application.
