The successful candidate will assume a leadership position within the lab; set the tone for both scientific and scholarly excellence; drive forward complex, innovative and translationally impactful projects; develop and write fellowship applications; and participate in a variety group and departmental seminar and journal club series. In return, you will gain critical experience working in a fast-paced and dynamic group environment, and receive full-time support from a Senior Research Assistant.
