About this position
Rutgers University is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Associate in Radiation Oncology at the Rutgers Cancer Institute in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The position involves independent laboratory research under the guidance of a principal investigator in DNA damage repair and cancer biology.
The research program investigates the role of the Ku70 C-terminal domain and its methylation in the DNA damage response, the regulatory functions of the lysine methyltransferase SETD4, and mechanisms of bone marrow failure associated with methylation. Responsibilities include conducting experiments, collecting and analyzing data, maintaining research records, preparing manuscripts and grant materials, presenting findings, and assisting with the training of students and laboratory personnel.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in cell and molecular biology or a closely related discipline, or be completing the degree with documentation required before employment begins. Experience with cell culture, cloning, DNA repair assays, communication, independent and collaborative work, and common computer and presentation software is required. Experience in biostatistics, immunology, microscopy, computational genomics, mouse models, mouse work, or computational biology is desirable.
The appointment is fully on-site in a laboratory environment and is a temporary, salaried 12-month position. The stated salary range is $20,000 to $200,000, with a midpoint of $90,000, subject to qualifications and available funding.
