Postdoctoral Position

Postdoctoral Position
The Baslan Lab at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) is recruiting three (1 computational and 2 experimental) Postdoctoral researchers to join our multidisciplinary team of investigators. Our work focuses on studying cancer genomes, with a focus on the genetics and biology of cancer associated mutations termed Copy Number Alterations (CNAs). These somatic events change the number and composition of chromosomes in cancer cells to yield biology that is almost entirely unknown. To dissect these events, we employ a systems biology, top-down approach where advanced analytics of large datasets are coupled to focused perturbations (ex: shRNA, CRISPR, cDNA screens) in experimental model systems. More specifically, to test biological hypotheses, our group develops and applies:
We aim to advance:
Disease areas of focus include, but are not limited to, acute leukemias, sarcomas, as well as breast and pancreatic cancers.
The three postdoctoral positions are distinct in focus and require different qualification as follows:
Computational Postdoctoral Position 1:
Focus: Developing and applying novel computational models to nominate therapeutic targets in cancer.
Qualifications:
Experimental Postdoctoral Position 1:
Focus: Studying cancer history using a combination of novel mouse models and sequencing technologies.
Qualifications:
Experimental Postdoctoral Position 2:
Focus: Dissecting protein translation dysregulation in cancer
Qualifications:
Interest applicants are requested to email the following material to Dr. Baslan at tbaslan@upenn.edu:
