The laboratory of Dr. Roger Greenberg within the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine is seeking postdoctoral researchers to investigate fundamental mechanisms that impact genome integrity. Our group has pioneered approaches to dynamically visualize the molecular events responsible for homologous recombination DNA repair in mammalian cells. These approaches and other methodologies that harness proteomic and CRISPR-Cas9 screening will be used to interrogate chromatin directed DNA repair mechanisms by BRCA1 and BRCA2 and their relationships to cancer eitiology and therapeutic response.
We are looking to appoint accomplished Postdoctoral Researchers in these areas. Candidates will have a PhD and/or MD in Biochemistry and Cell and Molecular Biology and an extensive publication record.
For details on our group, please visit our lab website at: https://www.med.upenn.edu/greenberglab/

Application Instructions
Please submit your CV and a cover letter outlining your research interests, career goals and the names of up to three referees to Dr. Roger Greenberg at rogergr@pennmedicine.upenn.edu
