美國南卡羅來納醫(yī)科大學2024年招聘博士后職位（癌癥生物學與遺傳學）
南卡羅來納醫(yī)科大學（The Medical University of South Carolina），于1824年建立于南卡羅來納州查爾斯頓，當時是一所致力于為內科醫(yī)生提供培訓的小型私立學院。如今南卡羅來納醫(yī)科大學已經擴大到一所州立學校，擁有一個醫(yī)學研究中心和6個專門為健康專業(yè)人士、生物醫(yī)學科學家和其他與健康有關的人員提供廣泛教育服務的學院。
Cancer Biology and Genetics post-doc
Medical University of South Carolina
Job Description
Dr. Delaney, PhD, has an opening in his laboratory for a self-motivated and independent Postdoctoral Scholar.
Delaney Lab projects are centered on investigating how chromosomal copy number changes alter cell biology, particularly in the context of cancer using mice and cancer cell lines as model systems. This position requires a post-doctoral fellow to investigate metallothioneins: zinc binding proteins of relatively unknown contribution to cancer initiation and drug response. The scientific culture in the lab is to initially design projects from unbiased genome-wide assays (bioinformatic or –seq technologies) from the highest quality genetic models and work out full mechanistic stories from the outcome.

The ideal candidate has previous experience in a cancer biology laboratory, however this is not required if the candidate has demonstrated productivity as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications.
Opportunities to learn and use R for bioinformatic data science are also available and encouraged. Dr. Delaney leads the Biological Big Data for Basic Scientists course at MUSC.
The ideal candidate is well-organized and able to create documentation in Word, Excel, and
Google Docs. The Postdoctoral Scholar must be able to work well in a team setting, including
the mentoring of undergraduates and colleagues. Previous experience with mice,
microscopy, metabolic assays, cell culture, and bacterial plasmid preps is desired but not
required. Previous experience with Cas9-directed mutagenesis beyond simple knockouts is
desired but not required.
The candidate must be willing to work with mice and lentivirus in an oncology context.
The candidate is expected to work hard while in the laboratory, however Dr. Delaney’s lab
culture fosters work-life balance.
