Postdoctoral position at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
A post-doctoral position is available to start immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Andrew Holland, located at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland. Johns Hopkins School of Medicine is a world-class institution that is consistently ranked amongst the top three medical research schools in the USA.
The Holland laboratory is studying the molecular mechanisms that control accurate chromosome distribution and the role that mitotic errors play in human health and disease. Our work utilizes a combination of chemical biology, biochemistry, cell biology and genetically engineered mice to study pathways involved in mitosis and their effect on cell and organism physiology. A major focus of the group is to develop cell and animal-based models to study the role of cell division defects in genome instability and tumorigenesis.
For more details of our recent publications and research interests please visit our website at www.hollandlab.com.
The successful applicant must have, or be in the process of completing, a PhD. We welcome applications from diverse backgrounds including those with a strong interest in cell biology, biochemistry, medicine and cancer biology. We also welcome those with backgrounds in engineering, chemistry, and physics who are interested in applying their expertise to biological systems. Candidates with expertise in cell-biology, microscopy, biochemistry or the use of mouse models are strongly encouraged to apply. All candidates must be highly motivated and have a strong record of independent research
Applications should be sent to aholland@jhmi.edu and should include a letter detailing the candidate’s motivation, a full curriculum vitae including a list of publications and the names and addresses of three referees.
