Job Posting: A position is open for a Postdoctoral Scientist to join a creative laboratory focusing on tumor heterogeneity, metastasis and drug resistance. The laboratory has recently developed a strategy that enables the tracking of individual cells within heterogeneous cancer cell populations throughout disease progression. Current work is focused on optimizing this method to make it more readily applicable to a variety of in vitro and in vivo disease models. The successful candidate will work with the Principal Investigator, a team of PhD students and laboratory technicians to perform this optimization before applying it to elucidate molecular drivers of disease progression and drug resistance. Later studies will involve genomic profiling (RNAseq, Exom -Capture, Copy number-variation) of single cells and clonal cell populations. The work will also involve the use of next generation shRNA and CRISPR/Cas9 libraries to perform loss-of-function and gain-of-function screens.
ESSENTIAL JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: 
• Design and implement high-throughput molecular cloning procedures 
• Design and implement molecular and cellular biology experiments 
• Design and implement animal studies 
• Analyze, interpret and summarize experimental data 
• Prepare manuscripts for publication 
• Attend scientific meetings and present research findings
