An active research lab in the Georgia Health Science University (former Medical College of Georgia) Cancer Center is seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual at the postdoctoral level to join a lab dedicated to conducting research aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance and mechanisms of transformation by oncogene in lung cancer. Experience with contemporary molecular biology techniques, including tissue culture, manipulations of nucleic acids and protein, PCR, western blotting, and cellular transfection is required and experience with animal experiment is a plus.
The successful candidate will work in a team environment. Specific responsibilities include planning, designing, completing and troubleshooting experiments. The candidate will be expected to invent and adapt experimental methods, and to prepare technical summaries for use in proposals, protocols, presentations at internal and national meetings, and publication of research papers. The candidate will be expected to make and record detailed observations, and maintain a complete and thorough laboratory notebook. Strong analytical skills are required, as well as the ability to interpret and summarize complex scientific data. Strong communication skills along with excellent organizational skills are essential. A competitive salary with an excellent compensation and benefits package will be provided. The position is available for one year, with the possibility of extending the appointment based upon performance. A Ph.D. degree in the field of molecular biology/cell biology, cancer research, or a related field is required. Graduation within three years is preferred.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
