Postdoctoral Research Position – Molecular Mechanisms of Prostate Cancer Therapeutic Resistance

Brady Urological Institute at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is recruiting a highly motivated candidate for a full-time postdoctoral research fellow position. successful candidate will lead studies on the role of coding and non-coding genes in the development of castration-resistant prostate cancer. This position will be within the laboratory of Shawn Lupold, the Catherine Iola and J Smith Michael distinguished professor of urology. Candidates will be working in a highly collaborative academic research community with a strong history of training, mentorship, and collaborative translational prostate cancer research.

As a Research Postdoctoral Fellow, you will manage a complex research project studying the molecular mechanisms of castration resistance in prostate cancer. These studies will include the planning, design, and execution of molecular and cancer cellular biology experiments, data recording, and data analysis. Experimental procedures include cell culture, plasmid and siRNA transfection, lentiviral transduction, CRISPR/Cas genetic editing, cell viability, apoptosis, migration, and invasion assays, qRT-PCR, and western blotting. The individual will coordinate, organize, and document research findings. Research progress and results will be presented at laboratory and institutional meetings, as well as at national and/or international scientific meetings. The individual will work with the team to prepare, write, and submit scientific manuscripts and grants. The Lupold laboratory and the Brady Urological Institute are dedicated to fellow training, growth and success within a friendly team science cancer research environment.

This position requires a Ph.D. and/or M.D. in a related discipline, and a strong background in molecular biology, and 0-3 years of postdoctoral research experience. Applicants with experience in cancer molecular biology, prostate cancer research, and/or CRISPR gene editing will receive top priority.

Interested applicants should contact Shawn Lupold: slupold@jhmi.edu
