Open Position

A postdoctoral fellow position will be available in the Laboratory of Dr. Jordi Petriz to study Side Population stem cells from patients with leukemia to identify disease signatures by using chemical biology and functional cytomics approaches. The overall goal is to discover cellular signatures for multidrug resistance in SP stem cells using functional and gene expression studies. Signature-based high-throughput screens will then be used to identify novel drugs to investigate the disease biology of cancer SP cells and to provide leads for clinical applications.

Qualifications: PhD in stem cell biology, molecular biology, or related field required. Must have 2-3 years experience in working with stem cells and have demonstrated expertise in the use of fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, cellular imaging/microscopy, and molecular biology (RT-PCR, cloning, immunoprecipitation, western blotting). Additional expertise in the use of RNA interference and viral vectors preferred.

Candidates should include an updated CV, complete contact information for three references, and a cover letter describing their past research experience, career goals and potential future research interests. Applicants should send materials to: Jordi Petriz, PhD (jpetriz
