Job Description
Projects in the lab will require some combination of chromatin state analysis using next generation sequencing approaches, DNA FISH, bioinformatics and data analysis, and molecular and cellular biology techniques. We utilize multiple model systems from yeast to mammalian cell culture best suited to address the particular question. Prior training in these areas is advantageous, however, successful candidates need not be proficient with all these tools when they apply. We are looking for candidates with interests in understanding the DNA rereplication response of metal stress, innate immune stress, epithelial to mesynchymal transition and how this goes awry in Down syndrome. Candidates interested in how DNA rereplication contributes to generation of extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) are also encouraged to apply.
Application instructions
To apply, please send an email to joshua.c.black@cuanschutz.edu including a CV and 1-2 page cover letter that briefly describes your research experience and interests, goals for your postdoctoral training, and how you think work in the Black lab will advance you toward your goals. Please also provide contact information for 3 professional references. Informal inquiries are welcome. Review of applications will begin in immediately. Applications will be considered until the positions are filled.
