Description

Ovarian Cancer Metabolomics and Proteomics

Postdoctoral Fellow

Gordon Lab - Emory University, Atlanta USA

 

Position Description:

The Gordon Laboratory seeks a motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to spearhead cutting-edge metabolomics studies focused on developing ovarian cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.

 

Ovarian cancer is among the most fatal cancers for women. Since it is often detected at a late stage (Stage 3 / 4), these patients suffer from very poor survival rates, therefore early detection of ovarian cancer is essential for improving clinical outcomes. Ovarian cancer is also characterized by drug resistance, therefore new treatments for ovarian cancer are crucial for improved outcomes. This project will utilize cutting edge metabolomics, proteomics, and cellbased functional assays.

 

Minimum qualifications include:

  • Metabolomics mass spectrometry and metabolomics data analysis

Preferred qualifications include:

  • Cancer model systems (e.g. animal models, organoids, cell culture models, relevant functional assays).
  • Proteomics mass spectrometry and/or proteomics data analysis
  • Biochemistry expertise (e.g. protein interaction studies, HPLC operation, etc.)
  • Molecular biology and experimental genetics (siRNA, CRISPR, PCR, DNA cloning, etc.)
  • DNA sequence analysis (Snapgene, Geneious or other DNA analysis tools)
  • Experience analyzing large datasets

The Gordon Lab pioneers advanced mass spectrometry, experimental genetics, and computational approaches to map biochemical networks and functional pathways, and leverages this information for improved therapeutics. Based in the Emory

University Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine we have ample access to primary tissue samples, and our affiliation with the Winship Cancer Center Discovery and Developmental Therapeutics Program supports translation of our research into therapeutic approaches. Additionally, our affiliation with the Pathology Translational Research Unit provides extraordinary collaboration opportunities towards data-driven analyses and synergy with world-leading immunologists. Lastly, our work with Georgia Tech through the Center for the Study of Systems Biology (CSSB) and the Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering enables transformative collaborations in technology development, including computational prediction of molecular interactions. Notably, our research program includes academic, nonprofit, and industry collaborations.

Our Culture: We strongly believe that the best science emerges from an environment of generous collaboration, reinforced by a culture of learning, curiosity, and the sharing of skills and advice. In considering new members of our group, we value a positive can-do attitude, evidence of previous success in laboratory environments, and attention to detail. This is a superb opportunity for a sharp scientist to rapidly develop new research skills and spearhead impactful projects in a supportive learning environment.
