The Durbin Laboratory within the Department of Oncology is seeking a highly motivated Researcher or Senior Researcher to join our team for a two-year position focused on the epigenetic regulation of transcription in cancer. This is an exciting opportunity for a talented scientist who is passionate about biomedical research and eager to contribute to groundbreaking discoveries in pediatric cancer biology. In this role, you will utilize state-of-the-art approaches in murine modeling, molecular biology, cell biology, and functional genomics to investigate the transcriptional and chromatin-based mechanisms that drive aggressive cancers. Working within a highly collaborative research environment, you will help develop and characterize in vivo models of human disease while contributing to innovative therapeutic discovery efforts. About the Durbin Laboratory The Durbin lab is interested in a broad, “multi-omics” approach to the epigenetically-coded processes that drive pediatric cancer. The primary research focus of the Durbin laboratory involves studying epigenetic determinants of gene regulation and transcriptional regulatory complexes in pediatric solid tumors to identify synergistic ways to target cancer cell growth. We use functional genomics, chemical biology and epigenomics to identify and characterize these dominant transcriptional regulatory complexes, their co-activators and co-repressors to define mechanistically-based strategies for pediatric solid tumor therapy. Ideal Candidate Profile Bachelor's degree in a biological or related scientific discipline. Prior experience with genetic and/or xenograft rodent models of cancer is highly preferred Hands-on experience working with genetic and/or xenograft rodent models of cancer. Strong interest in cancer biology, epigenetics, and biomedical research. Excellent organizational, analytical, and communication skills. Proficiency in molecular biology techniques, including: western blotting, molecular cloning, and functional genomics technique. Job Responsibilities: Performs laboratory experiments independently using established techniques/protocols. Sets up protocols, trouble shoots experiments using new or modified laboratory techniques. Accurately records experimental procedures and data. Prepares and reports results/ data leading to posters, presentations or publications May provide guidance to entry-level employees.
