Description

The Cambronne lab has a funded position for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with expertise in cancer cell metabolism and blood cancers. Ideal candidates will have experience in genetic mouse models, cytometry, cell culture, and metabolic analyses. The project uniquely provides the researcher with the first-chance characterization of novel animal models and use of novel metabolic genetically encoded biosensors. The researchers will further benefit from collaborative mentorship with researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center. 

              We are a collaborative team of creative and accomplished researchers, who strive towards discoveries through innovation (www.lulucambronne.org). Our research environment supports individual initiative and critical thinking, as well as the training of future generations of scientists. We uphold a high standard in scientific rigor, and tackle challenging problems in cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry and physiology to glean insight into disease onset and progression.

Requirements

Requires a PhD in molecular biology, biochemistry or closely related field. The PhD degree must have been received within the past three years. Prior expertise in molecular and cell biology is essential.  

Preferred skills include being a critical thinker; a creative problem solver; strong organizational habits; a solid work ethic; highly self-motivated and conscientious. Able to follow-through projects till completion and the ability to work with other co-workers committed to high standards.
