The post doctoral research associate will plan experimental goals with the principle investigator. They will conduct independent research to identify rigorous, efficient experimental approaches to achieve these goals. The post doctoral research associate will perform these experiments, which will require expertise in mammalian tissue culture, molecular biology, bioinformatics, coding, and data analysis. They will additional train and supervise an MD-PhD student who will work with them on their project. The post doctoral research associate will analyze data, trouble shoot problems with experimental approach, and work with the principle investigator to prepare their results for publication.

Must have a comprehensive background in recent advances in molecular and cell biology. Must be able to perform standard mammalian cell culture, including lentivirus preparation and transfections. Must be able to perform sequencing library preparation. Must be able to analyze high throughput sequencing results and run analysis code in python.

Preferred 4 years experience, with the majority of experience employing practical molecular biology skills.
