MSK collaborate to conduct innovative translational and clinical research that is driving a revolution in our understanding of cancer as a disease and improving the ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat it. MSK is dedicated to training the next generation of scientists and clinicians, who go on to pursue?

our mission? at MSK and around the globe. One of the world's most respected comprehensive centers devoted exclusively to cancer, we have been recognized as one of the top two cancer hospitals in the country by U. S. News & World Report for more than 30 years. Vaccination for COVID-19 and Influenza (flu) is mandatory for all MSK staff. Staff are considered fully vaccinated upon completion

Requests for exemption can take up to two weeks to review. Vaccination or an approved exemption is required to start work. Job Description We seek a postdoctoral fellow in cancer genetics and functional genomics to join an expanding, NIH-funded research group focused on understanding the molecular underpinnings of inherited cancer susceptibility. The fellow will lead laboratory-based

studies to identify and characterize functional variants and risk genes at recently identified susceptibility loci for esophageal adenocarcinoma and its precursor lesion Barrett's esophagus, with opportunities to expand into additional cancer sites.

As an active member of an interdisciplinary team, the fellow will build relationships with a range of scientific colleagues, publish peer reviewed work, present at national conferences, and gain experience in grant writing. Qualifications and attributes of the ideal candidate include: A doctoral degree in genetics, molecular/cellular biology, biochemistry, or related biomedical discipline. Peer-reviewed publications in molecular genetics, gene regulation, or related fields.

Strong interest in understanding the biological/mechanistic basis of inherited cancer susceptibility. Established skills in standard laboratory techniques, e. g. cell culture, molecular cloning, targeted mutagenesis, transfections, luciferase reporter assays, CRISPR, q PCR, Ch IP, 3C. Self-motivated, resourceful, enthusiastic. Strong verbal and written communication skills. Interested applicants should include C. V. contact information for three references, and brief letter of interest addressed to Dr. Matthew F. Buas.
