Job Opportunity (graduate student, postdoctoral fellow, or research scientist) in Dr. Nghiem's Laboratory (University of Washington Dermatology)

A position for a graduate student, postdoctoral fellow, or research scientist (University of Washington Research Scientist 1) is available in the laboratory of Dr. Paul Nghiem (Medicine/Dermatology, UW Medicine South Lake Union, Seattle) to study UV-induced DNA damage responses and skin carcinogenesis. These studies would be co-led with Masaoki Kawasumi, MD, PhD (Acting Assistant Professor). The goal of these NIH-funded studies is to elucidate molecular mechanisms by which cells sense UV-induced DNA lesions (CPD and 6-4PP) and activate biological processes such as ATR-Chk1 checkpoint signaling, DNA repair, and mutagenic translesion synthesis and to dissect the molecular mechanisms by which caffeine prevents multiple types of skin cancers. Our approaches include cell culture, flow cytometry, DNA replication track analysis, Western blot analysis, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), proteomics, next-generation sequencing, and novel and established mouse genetic models. Highly!
motivated applicants should have research experience in cell biology, molecular biology, or signal transduction. Applicants should have good written and oral communication skills. Applicants for a postdoctoral position should possess an MD and/or PhD degree. Applicants for a research scientist position should possess a bachelor's degree in biology. Salary will be commensurate with experience and based on NIH and the University of Washington guidelines. Applicants should submit a letter of interest, CV, and the names of three potential references electronically to Dr. Kawasumi (kawasumi@uw.edu). Please visit our lab website at www.pnlab.org for more details on our research.
