美国南卡罗来纳医科大学2024年招聘博士后职位（癌症生物学与遗传学）
南卡罗来纳医科大学（The Medical University of South Carolina），于1824年建立于南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿，当时是一所致力于为内科医生提供培训的小型私立学院。如今南卡罗来纳医科大学已经扩大到一所州立学校，拥有一个医学研究中心和6个专门为健康专业人士、生物医学科学家和其他与健康有关的人员提供广泛教育服务的学院。
Cancer Biology and Genetics post-doc
Medical University of South Carolina
Job Description
Dr. Delaney, PhD, has an opening in his laboratory for a self-motivated and independent Postdoctoral Scholar.
Delaney Lab projects are centered on investigating how chromosomal copy number changes alter cell biology, particularly in the context of cancer using mice and cancer cell lines as model systems. This position requires a post-doctoral fellow to investigate metallothioneins: zinc binding proteins of relatively unknown contribution to cancer initiation and drug response. The scientific culture in the lab is to initially design projects from unbiased genome-wide assays (bioinformatic or –seq technologies) from the highest quality genetic models and work out full mechanistic stories from the outcome.

The ideal candidate has previous experience in a cancer biology laboratory, however this is not required if the candidate has demonstrated productivity as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications.
Opportunities to learn and use R for bioinformatic data science are also available and encouraged. Dr. Delaney leads the Biological Big Data for Basic Scientists course at MUSC.
The ideal candidate is well-organized and able to create documentation in Word, Excel, and
Google Docs. The Postdoctoral Scholar must be able to work well in a team setting, including
the mentoring of undergraduates and colleagues. Previous experience with mice,
microscopy, metabolic assays, cell culture, and bacterial plasmid preps is desired but not
required. Previous experience with Cas9-directed mutagenesis beyond simple knockouts is
desired but not required.
The candidate must be willing to work with mice and lentivirus in an oncology context.
The candidate is expected to work hard while in the laboratory, however Dr. Delaney’s lab
culture fosters work-life balance.
