A Postdoctoral Fellow position is available immediate to work investigating fundamental processes of cell division and cancer.
The Kabeche lab in the Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry department at Yale University focuses on understanding the pathways that ensure cells to properly replicate and segregate their DNA and how perturbations in these pathways can be strategically targeted to create novel and efficient cancer therapies.
Our current projects use complimentary techniques to study the non-canonical functions of the DNA damage response pathway throughout the cell cycle. We rely on a wide variety of microscopy techniques, biochemistry and molecular biology to tackle these questions. You can find more information at: https://kabechelab.com
The position is available immediately and the start date is flexible. The position is initially for one year with possibility of yearly renewal based on performance.
Qualifications:
- PhD in a Biology, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Cancer Biology or a related field
- Substantial experience with human cell culture and microscopy
- Previous work with DNA damage, DNA damage response or mitosis is a plus, but not required
- A record of innovative research, strong communication skills, and demonstrated ability to see projects through to publication
- The candidate is expected to have the ability to work independently and as part of a team
Interested candidates should submit the following directly to: lilian.kabeche@yale.edu
