Career Opportunities
Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine
Job Role: Postdoctoral Position, Molecular Biology, Stem Cells and Cancer
Job Hours: Full-Time
Start Date: Nov 1st, 2011
Sector: Academic
Location: IMM, UT-HSC
Salary:
A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Nami McCarty, PhD lab at The Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine (University of Texas-Health Science Center) to study the role of signaling pathways in stem cells of lymphoma. Experimental models focus on molecular interactions of genes in various cell lines and primary cells in the context of stem cells and development of B cell lymphoma.
Requirements: Highly motivated PhD, MD/PhD or MD with a solid background in molecular and cell biology. Expertise in the analysis of mouse model systems, molecular biology and immunological techniques such as FACS, cloning, PCR immunohistochemistry etc. is a must. Experience in generation of knock out mice and Chip-chip assay is an advantage.
The McCarty lab is part of a vibrant stem cell community, the Centre for Stem Cell Research at the Institute of Molecular Medicine (IMM) at UT Medical Center in Houston. Interested applicants should send a cover letter explaining relevant work experience, a CV and the names, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of three references by e-mail to: nami.mccarty@uth.tmc.edu (no phone calls please).
The University of Texas is an EO/AA employer. M/F/D/V. This is a security-sensitive position and thereby subject to Texas Education Code §51.215. A background check will be required for the final candidate.
STEM CELL RESEARCH
Postdoctoral Positions
Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine
UTHealth has 3-4 positions available in the laboratory of Brian R. Davis, Ph.D., Associate Professor
Interim Director of Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine.
Successful candidates for these positions are as follows:
1) have received Ph.D. in Biological/Physical/Chemical Sciences within the last 5 years
2) have significant prior experimental experience in molecular and cellular biology
3) have strong analytical and quantitative reasoning skills
4) have the intellectual capacity, work ethic, creativity, writing skills, and motivation to pursue an independent academic research career
5) be able, upon request, to provide two letters of reference.
No phone calls please. Interested applicants should send a cover letter stating their research interests, a curriculum vitae, and relevant reprints to:
email to: brian.r.davis@uth.tmc.edu.
The cover letter should address each of the five criteria enumerated above.
Dr. Davis’ laboratory has as its primary focus the genomic editing of chromosomal DNA in stem cells – utilizing homologous recombination processes to restore an endogenous mutant gene sequence to the corrected normal sequence in autologous stem cells obtained from patients with inherited genetic disease. This work has largely focused on induced pluripotent stem (iPS) and hematopoietic stem cells. Current diseases under investigation include those affecting the lung (Cystic fibrosis, Surfactant Protein B Deficiency) and blood (Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome). A second line of investigation is focused on spontaneous somatic reversion of inherited mutations or “natural gene therapy” in patients with inherited genetic disease.
The Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine occupies the 6th floor of the Sarofim Research Building, a state-of-the-art facility in the Texas Medical Center fully equipped for molecular research.
The University of Texas is an EO/AA employer. M/F/D/V. This is a security-sensitive position and thereby subject to Texas Education Code §51.215. A background check will be required for the final candidate.
