The Mulvaney Lab is seeking a Research Scientist to help develop and lead our exciting cancer research group. This person will be both motivated to grow a research project of their own and to train and mentor young scientists within the group. The lab’s work focuses on signaling pathways in pediatric and adult cancers—with a particular emphasis on therapeutically targeting enzyme vulnerabilities. Available projects include structurally and biochemically identifying mechanisms of substrate recruitment to methyltransferases, such as PRMT5, identifying protein-substrate interactions using mass spec/proteomics, studying cancer-immune regulation, and CRISPR screening for new target identification.

The Research Scientist will have access to Virginia Tech and Children’s National Hospital
resources, core facilities, and seminars, and will be provided growth and development
opportunities. Our team supports all career paths of scientists and will actively engage in efforts of networking, leadership training, research conference attendance and participation, and other activities to support your career development. This is a great opportunity to help shape a new lab at the research and innovation center in Washington, DC.
