Job Opportunity

PROJECT 1.

We are seeking a highly motivated scientist to join our research team. This project focuses on exploring novel therapeutics in hepatocellular carcinoma. Our lab has identified a novel small molecule drug targeting a novel regulator of cancer survival. The work aims to decipher the mode of action of the small molecule.

Qualifications:

  • Ph.D. and/or M.D. in Cancer biology, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field.
  • Experience in bioinformatics is highly desirable but not mandatory.
  • Productivity as evidenced from publications in reputable journals

PROJECT 2.

Investigate the role of XPC in the epigenetic regulation of cell fate transition, using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as a model system. The goal of the project is to examine how XPC-directed changes in DNA methylation in somatic cells alter gene expression and metabolism to promote reacquisition of pluripotency in somatic cells during iPSC generation.

Qualifications:

  • Ph.D. and/or M.D. with experience in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field.
  • Experience with iPSCs and bioinformatics is highly desirable but not mandatory.
  • Productivity as evidenced from publications in reputable journals

Application Process:
Interested candidates should send the following by email to yfong@bwh.harvard.edu

  • Cover letter
  • Curriculum vitae
  • Contact details (names and phone numbers) of three referees who can provide letters of recommendation.
