Posting Description

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE, CANCER BIOLOGY, Program in Media Arts and Sciences-Nano-Cybernetic Biotrek (NCB), to fill an opening in Professor Deblina Sarkar’s research group at MIT for a postdoctoral associate with experience studying the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer development, progression, and post-treatment profiling, with a particular emphasis on the analysis of various genome sequencing data for cancer both in vitro and in vivo models. Background in brain tumor or glioblastoma is preferred but not required. Will study the effect of novel therapeutics for cancer both in vitro and in vivo cancer models; conduct in-depth analysis of RNA, DNA, whole-genome, and single-cell sequencing data; develop and apply advanced bioinformatics and computational biology techniques to interrogate complex sequencing datasets; validate the functional significance of identified molecular targets and pathways; contribute to research manuscripts, grant proposals, and presentations; and mentor/train junior researchers.
