An NIH-funded Postdoctoral fellowship position is available in the Department of Pathology & Immunology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO, United States. The Mosammaparast Lab is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to study signaling pathways induced during nucleic acid damage and DNA repair, with links to RNA modifications and inflammation in cancer (Brickner et al, Nature 2017; Zhao et al, Molecular Cell 2018; Lemacon et al, Nature Commun 2017; Byrum et al, J Cell Biol 2019, Tsao et al, Molecular Cell 2021; Lukinovic et al, Cancer Discovery 2022). These projects will involve biochemical methods, high resolution microscopy, single molecule replication analysis, transcriptomics, proteomics, CRISPR genome editing, and other state-of-the-art methods. Dr. Mosammaparast co-leads the DNA Metabolism & Repair (DMR) program with Dr. Alessandro Vindigni at the Washington University Siteman Cancer center, a basic science group that includes nearly 20 laboratories from multiple departments interested in genome stability and cancer.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated candidate, with a publication record in molecular biology and cell biology. Training in specific biomedical methods and techniques will be offered, however preference will be given to individuals with hands-on experience using current techniques associated with DNA damage responses. A competitive salary (starting at $62,500/yr), benefits, and moving expense package will be provided. Candidates are encouraged to explore the Washington University Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (https://postdoc.wustl.edu/ ) to learn more about the University’s postdoctoral policies and resources.   

Interested candidates should submit their curriculum vitae, one-page statement of research interests, and contact information of three references via e-mail to Dr. Nima Mosammaparast (nima@wustl.edu ).
