Job Description

The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor ranks #3 in the United States in research and development expenditures at ~$1.5 billion annually. Ann Arbor is a mix of city and rural spaces and is ranked on several lists as the #1 or #2 place to live especially for affordable living and for families. Public school, arts and culture, food, and outdoor green spaces are highly ranked. If you like urban living, walk 5-10 minutes to work. If you like wide open spaces, spend only a 10-minute drive to work instead of 1 hour.

Job summary:

There are approximately 5,800 new cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) per year. The survival rate of adults with ALL has remained at 30-40%. ALL kills more children than any other cancer. Our goal is to identify and study the network of transcription factor genes and regulatory elements of ALL in order to develop novel targeted therapies that are more effective and less toxic than current medicines. We are looking for a postdoc (research fellow) to study transcriptional regulation of Notch-driven ALL and T-cell regeneration at super-enhancers with a goal to develop the fundamental science needed to improve the effectiveness and safety of current cancer therapies and regenerative medicine.

Specific methodologies:

-Leukemogenesis and T-cell development assays (flow cytometry sorting and analysis; histology; bone marrow transplantation; intrathymic injections; retroviral transduction and transplantation; in vitro stromal cell culture; transplantation in NSG mice)

-Transcriptional genomics (ChIP-Seq/ATAC/4C-Seq library preparation; analyses of RNA/ChIP/ATAC-seq datasets using computational pipelines; bioinformatics)

-Transcription factor/enhancer functional screens and assays (CRISPRi; ChIP; MPRAs)

-Protein-protein interaction biochemistry (mass spectrometry; BIOID; NMR; co-IP; reverse-ChIP)

Model systems:

- Genetically engineered mouse models

- Human leukemia patient-derived xenograft models

- Human and mouse leukemia cell lines

Specific responsibilities:

-Design, perform, analyze, and interpret experiments with training and supervision from PI and other lab members in line with skill set and with goal of independence

-Work as a team with other lab members (PI, bioinformaticist, postdocs, PhD students, and the lab manager/work-study students)

-Collaborate with members of other labs

-Write manuscripts for publication

-Present posters and talks at research conferences

Required Qualifications:

#PhD in a biomedical field
