Postdoctoral Fellow – Hematopoiesis, Aging, And DNA Repair Research

Dr. Moonjung Jung’s laboratory at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow who is interested in hematopoiesis, aging, and DNA repair research.

A successful candidate is expected to have experience in human and/or mouse hematopoiesis, molecular biology, cell biology, and aging research. A postdoctoral fellow will conduct the research to study the relationship between DNA damage and alcohol use, and their contribution to hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) aging.

Our laboratory studies endogenous and exogenous sources of DNA damage, how they cause DNA damage in HSC, and how such DNA damage in HSC leads to bone marrow failure. We are using Fanconi anemia, the most common inherited bone marrow failure syndrome due to DNA repair defects, as well as alcohol use as model diseases to ask these fundamental questions.

We provide training opportunities in cutting-edge technologies such as functional CRISPR screens and single-cell RNA-sequencing. We also provide a fun, dynamic, and inclusive training environment in the Division of Hematology, Department of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, with outstanding opportunities for collaboration and co-mentorship (http://jung-lab.org). Interested candidates should contact Dr. Moonjung Jung at mjung@jhmi.edu with a curriculum vitae, cover letter, and a list of three references.

Qualification: Ph.D. in the field of cell biology, molecular biology, or related fields within the last 2 years.
Application deadline: open until the position is filled.
