Job Description
Postdoctoral fellow - Stem cells, Gene editing & Leukemia
Full Job Description
A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Satish Nandakumar at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Albert Einstein Cancer Center. Research in our laboratory is focused on understanding how germline genetic variants predispose to clonal hematopoiesis and hematologic malignancies. We use approaches at the interface of human genetics, hematopoietic stem cell biology and gene regulation to address this question.
We identify genetic risk variants from human genetic studies (e.g., GWAS) and examine them using CRISPR/Cas9 editing and high-throughput genomic screens in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Our recent findings (Bao et al., Nature 2020; Bick et al., Nature 2020) has uncovered a previously unappreciated mechanism for inherited risk of myeloid malignancies involving modulation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function and self-renewal. We seek an enthusiastic, committed, friendly, and capable individual to join our team.
We are particularly seeking an individual with experience in hematopoiesis or leukemia research. In addition to a Ph.D., applicants should have a record of publication, and experience with molecular and cell biological techniques. The position will provide considerable opportunities for intellectual development through dedicated individual mentorship and guidance. Ability and interest to perform bioinformatics analysis is desired but not required.
Nandakumar Lab is part of the Department of Cell Biology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine located in the Bronx in New York City. Einstein is one of the nation's premier centers for biomedical research with top notch researchers and outstanding state-of-the-art facilities. Successful candidates will be offered generous salary and benefits, including College-owned postdoctoral housing in a pleasant residential neighborhood near the medical school. Please send a cover letter describing research interests and accomplishments, CV, and the names and addresses of three references directly to Satish Nandakumar.
