Job Description

The laboratory of Dr. Yohannes Ghebre, Department of Radiation Oncology at Baylor College of Medicine, is seeking a motivated postdoctoral candidate to help study the pathobiologic effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in vitro and in preclinical animal models in vivo. Accordingly, we are recruiting talented postdocs with extensive expertise in molecular, cell biological and preclinical studies to investigate signaling pathways that are involved in chemoradiation therapy-induced pathologies including lung inflammation and fibrosis. The candidate is expected to generate work that has the potential to be published in high impact factor journals, and be presented at local, national and international research meetings.

Molecular and cell culture studies
In vivo experiments in various animal models including murine models of cancer and tissue injury induced by chemotherapy (e.g. bleomycin) and ionizing radiation (e.g. X- rays)
Data analyses and troubleshooting to include developing new protocols
Required: PhD or comparable degree.

Experience in molecular, cell biological and preclinical studies to investigate signaling pathways that are involved in chemoradiation therapy-induced pathologies including lung inflammation and fibrosis highly desired.

Baylor College of Medicine is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action/Equal Access Employer.
