Postdoctoral Associate – Washington University School of Medicine Department of Medicine

Job Description

Our laboratory at the Washington University in St. Louis is seeking a postdoctoral experimental biologist to join our interdisciplinary team studying urogenital diseases and cancer. Our team combines experimentation and computational analyses to advance precision medicine. We attack important and challenging problems by integrating data from human specimens, cell lines, organoids, patient-derived xenograft models, and murine genetic models. Our lab collaborates extensively with other basic/translational scientists and computational biologists locally, nationally, and internationally.

We are also heavily involved in multiple large-scale NIH consortia, including GUDMAP, HTAN, SenNet, PDXNet, and CPTAC, where we use multi-omics (including single cell and spatial omics) and imaging technologies (including CODEX and 3D imaging) to study disease pathogenesis and treatment, as well as building reference databases and atlases. The research environment is highly collaborative, intellectually stimulating, enjoyable, and a great place for career advancement.

Qualifications

• Recent doctoral degree in a relevant field, including, but not limited to, Genetics, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Molecular Biology, Cancer Biology, Biochemistry, and Pharmacology. Extensive experience in laboratory-based experimental biology. Experience with urogenital research, transgenic mice, omics, and imaging is preferred but not required. Demonstrated ability to work independently to generate, analyze, and present research results. Ability to help prepare manuscripts.
