Postdoctoral

A postdoctoral fellowship is available in cancer proteomics applying state-of-the-art proteomics and mass spectrometry methods to the analysis of ovarian cancers and tumor associated macrophages. Candidates are expected to be familiar with molecular cell biology and protein biochemistry. The overall goal of the project is to characterize the macrophage proteome and its response to polarization.

A postdoctoral fellowship is available in computational proteomics covering data integration and the analysis of mass spectrometry data. Candidates are expected to have excellent programming skills, familiarity with current techniques in proteomics and familiarity with statistics. The overall goal of the project is to characterize the macrophage proteome and its response to polarization.

Graduate Student Rotations

Research rotation and thesis projects are available for both laboratory and computationally oriented students. Computational projects will involve data integration and the analysis of high dimensionality data sets in proteomics and molecular biology. Candidates are expected to have strong programming skills and a familiarity with molecular biology.

Experimental projects will focus on macrophages using molecul. Candidates are expected to be familiar with molecular biology and cell biology. Opportunities are available ranging from mass spectrometry/data analysis intensive projects to the exploration of cellular responses and biology of mononuclear phagocytes using molecular cell biology and cell culture techniques.

Undergraduate Research Opportuntities

Research opportunities are available for undergraduate students in both the experimental laboratory and computational groups. Computational projects will involve data integration and the analysis of high dimensionality data sets in proteomics and molecular biology. Excellent GPA with skills in computer programming required. Opportunities for research projects leading to an undergraduate thesis are available for students able to work full time over summers.

Experimental projects will focus on macrophages using molecular cell biology and proteomcs. Opportunities are available for students with a range of skills. Excellent GPA and the ability to commit at least 15 hours per week over an extended period of time are required. Opportunities for research projects leading to an undergraduate thesis are available for students able to work full time over summers.

Laboratory Staff

A position is available immediately for a Research Assistant II to assist in projects involving mouse models for ovarian cancer. Familiarity with molecular biology laboratory methods and mouse colony management are a priority.
