PostDoctoral Fellow position(Oncogenic Kinase Signaling in Glioblastoma) at National Cancer Institute, Bethesda

National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area

POSITION: POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW(Oncogenic Kinase Signaling in Glioblastoma)

A postdoctoral position is available to study oncogenic kinase signaling in glioblastoma at the NCI on the NIH main campus in Bethesda, MD.   Projects include, but are not limited to, (1) identification and characterization of novel therapeutic targets downstream of receptor tyrosine kinases in gliomas and (2) examining and defining redundant kinase signaling in gliomas with the goal of discovering mechanisms of therapeutic resistance.

Techniques to be used include tumor stem cell culture, ortotopic murine brain tumor modeling, high-throughput genetic and chemical screens, phospho-proteomics, and bioinformatics.  Funding will be provided by the NIH, though extramural fellowship applications will be strongly encouraged and supported.

REQUIREMENTS:

Applicants should possess a Ph.D. and/or an M.D. and have a strong background in molecular biology, cell biology, or biochemistry, and a minimum of one first-authorship manuscript in a peer-reviewed journal.  Applicants should have no more than one year of postdoctoral training.  Appointment duration is up to 5 years.
