A postdoctoral position is available in the Clurman lab in Clinical Research and Human Biology Divisions at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The Clurman lab’s research has focused on the ubiquitin-proteasome system and cell cycle machinery, and their roles in tumorigenesis. This position entails studies of the Fbw7 ubiquitin ligase and the ubiquitin proteasome system in health and disease, and will involve the analyses of transcription factor regulation by Fbw7, biochemical studies of Fbw7 function, the development of murine models of Fbw7-associated cancer, and therapeutic Fbw7 targeting (Davis, Welcker, and Clurman. 2014, Cancer Cell). Applications from individuals with a strong interest in cancer biology and who can work creatively and independently are encouraged.

 

Qualifications
