    <![CDATA[*Postdoctoral Fellow (Genetics/Genomics of Brain Tumors)*

Full time position to research the genetics and genomics of human brain tumors. Techniques are discovery screening via DNA-based and histopathology/tissue-based systems, with subsequent experimental validation in immunohistochemical and cell culture systems. Projects aimed at discovery of the specific DNA mutations associated with subtypes of human cancers (primary, metastatic, or the different histologic grades of intrinsic brain tumors), with a focus on alterations predictive of treatment response and mechanisms of treatment resistance. Useful to have experience in molecular biology, cell culture, library generation, large-scale sequencing technologies and informatics. Depending on interests and prior expertise of the applicant, possible projects would range from involvement with high-throughput molecular data, validation of markers in human tumor specimens, and mechanistic analyses of gene function in cell culture.
