We are seeking a Post-Doctoral Scholar - A postdoctoral scholar position is available immediately for a scientist with experience in molecular and/or cancer biology. The Chandler lab is investigating the link between alternative splicing and cancer, including pediatric sarcomas and hepatocellular carcinoma.

The appointee will investigate molecular mechanisms involved in the induction of alternative splicing in response to cancer promoting stimuli as well as the downstream effects of splicing changes. Cell culture, in vitro splicing and mouse models serve as systems in which to study the mechanism for alternative splicing as well as the biological endpoints of the pathways. The laboratory's approaches include integration of cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry.

What Will You Be Doing?

The successful candidate will confer regularly with the principal investigator but must incorporate self-directed research, excellent technical, presentation, and communication skills as essential parts of the job.
