Located in Boston and the surrounding communities, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a leader in life changing breakthroughs in cancer research and patient care. We are united in our mission of conquering cancer, HIV/AIDS, and related diseases. We strive to create an inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment where we provide compassionate and comprehensive care to patients of all backgrounds, and design programs to promote public health particularly among high-risk and underserved populations. We conduct groundbreaking research that advances treatment, we educate tomorrow's physician/researchers, and we work with amazing partners, including other Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospitals.
The D'Andrea lab investigates chromosome instability and susceptibility to cancer. Our laboratory examines the molecular signaling pathways which regulate the DNA damage response in mammalian cells. Disruption of these pathways, by germline or somatic mutation, leads to genomic instability, cellular sensitivity to ionizing radiation, and defective cell cycle checkpoints and DNA repair. These pathways are often disrupted in cancer cells, accounting for the chromosome instability and increased mutation frequency in human tumors. We are seeking a highly motivated and talented Visiting Scientist to join a dynamic team investigating the molecular basis of genomic stability and RNA-dependent modulation of DNA damage response signaling in human cancers. The candidate will work in a cutting-edge research environment with access to advanced molecular biology tools and technologies.
PRIMARY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
The responsibilities of the D’Andrea lab visiting scientist will include, but not be limited to:
MINIMUM JOB QUALIFICATIONS:
Ph.D., MD or combination of advanced degrees, with a minimum of 4 years of postdoctoral experience in experimental therapeutics, preferably in oncology.
