About this position
The D’Andrea Lab at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston investigates chromosome instability and susceptibility to cancer, with a focus on the molecular signaling pathways that regulate the DNA damage response in mammalian cells.
The postdoctoral researcher will study how disruption of DNA damage-response pathways through germline or somatic mutation contributes to genomic instability, sensitivity to ionizing radiation, defective cell-cycle checkpoints, and impaired DNA repair in human cancers. The work will address DNA repair pathways, replication fork stability, and ubiquitin signaling.
The role offers an opportunity to work in a dynamic, multidisciplinary cancer-research environment using advanced molecular and cellular approaches, including CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, protein biochemistry, mass spectrometry, and live-cell imaging. The researcher will design and conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, and present findings at scientific meetings.
The fellow will collaborate with medicinal chemists and clinical researchers, contribute to manuscripts and grant applications, mentor junior team members, and support the broader research environment. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute provides access to advanced research technologies and operates within a Harvard Medical School-affiliated clinical and research community.
