Please find the most recent Postdoctoral Fellow opportunities at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. For any students or alumni who’d like to be considered, the flyer includes a link to a Postdoctoral Fellow Careers Page where you can create an account and apply directly to the opening.  You may contact Jessica Toner toner@cshl.edu afterwards, who would be happy to send the application to the PI for consideration.

The Minn Lab (www.minnlab.org) seeks highly motivated applicants for Senior Lab Manager, Research Specialist A/B, and Bioinformatics Specialist positions. The research lab is focused on cancer and cancer immunotherapy and is involved in work that spans experimental laboratory studies with animal models to translational studies from human clinical trials.

For the lab manager position, we seek applicants with strong interpersonal, organizational, and experimental skills who are familiar with ensuring the smooth daily operations of an academic research laboratory. Besides a comprehensive skillset based on prior experience, eagerness to unlearn old approaches and learn new techniques, a willingness to step outside of comfort zones, and an unrelenting desire to continuously improve and modernize are essential. Another critical responsibility is to ensure high standards of professionalism and to promote a culture of support and teamwork so all in the lab can thrive.

For the Research Specialist A/B position, this individual will primarily assist senior personnel in executing laboratory-based experiments that include various in vitro and in vivo assays, experiments using mouse models, functional genomic screens, and high-dimensional cancer and immune cell profiling. Experience in data analysis and visualization using R and/or Python, and various Bioconductor pipelines is a plus. The candidate should be willing to work as part of a team, particularly in the beginning, but also individually in order to develop a high level of independence.

For the Bioinformatics Specialist, project goals will involve understanding disease mechanisms and/or efficacy of novel therapeutic approaches using both pre-clinical and clinical data. This individual will be primarily responsible for detailed data analysis of medium and large-scale data sets derived from functional genomic screens, various high-throughput sequencing methods, single-cell technologies, and other multi-ome assays. Familiarity with multiple programming languages such as R and Python, common analysis pipelines for genomics and/or single-cell data, databases, statistics and machine learning, and effective data visualization methods are a must. Some wet-lab experience is a plus.

Please contact andyminn@upenn.edu for more details.

Postdoctoral positions are available in Alberto Ciccia’s laboratory in the Department of Genetics and Development at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. The Ciccia laboratory investigates 1) the molecular mechanisms that maintain genomic stability to suppress cancer development and regulate chemotherapy and immunotherapy responses (Taglialatela A et al, Molecular Cell, 2021; Huang JW et al, Nature Communications, 2020; Joseph SA et al, DNA Repair, 2020; Taglialatela A et al, Molecular Cell, 2017); 2) the function of nucleotide variants in DNA repair genes using innovative base editing screens (Cuella-Martin R et al, Cell, 2021; Hayward SB and Ciccia A, Current Opinion in Genetics and Development, 2021); 3) the interplay between DNA repair and genome editing (Nambiar TS et al, Molecular Cell, 2022; Nambiar TS et al, Nature Communications, 2019); and develops 4) novel methods for precision genome editing (Billon P et al, Cell Reports, 2020; Billon P et al, Molecular Cell, 2017). More information can be found at www.ciccialab.com/.

Interested candidates with Ph.D., M.D. or equivalent degrees are encouraged to apply by MARCH 30, 2022. Experience in molecular and cell biology, genetics or computational biology, and first-author publications are preferred. 

To apply for this position, please submit a cover letter describing research experience and interests, CV and contact information of three references to:

The University of Michigan Medical School will host Postdoc Preview, May 12-13, 2022. This recruiting event is an opportunity for upper-level graduate students to explore the extensive postdoctoral research and training opportunities in biomedical sciences at University of Michigan. During a fully-funded, two-day visit, guests will interview with prospective mentors, network with current postdocs, learn about funding opportunities, and about life in Ann Arbor. Applicants are selected from a national pool of candidates who expect to complete their thesis research within the next year, and must be US citizens, permanent residents, or currently enrolled in a US graduate school. Applications will be accepted through March 25, 2022.

Research areas span basic science and clinical departments. For more information and to apply: https://ogps.smapply.io/prog/postdoc_preview_may_2022/

For any questions, please don’t hesitate to connect with the Postdoc Office (postdocoffice@med.umich.edu), or Postdoc Coordinator Beth Bodiya (ebodiya@umich.edu).
