Job Summary: | We are seeking a highly motivated, bright, and qualified candidate to join Dr. Joshua Black’s laboratory in the Department of Pharmacology. The applicant will help to support research and activities in the lab and will have the opportunity to learn a wide variety of laboratory techniques. This position is ideal for individuals looking to gain hands on experience in the study of molecular biology or cancer biology. The lab environment provides exposure to a wide range of topics and scientific techniques; projects in the lab incorporate biochemical analyses, molecular approaches, cell culture, and computational studies to interrogate scientific questions about epigenetic control of gene amplifications and extrachromosomal DNA in normal stress responses and the dysregulation in cancer. We work closely with other groups on campus, meeting monthly with collaborators in the pharmacology department and monthly in a joint lab meeting that includes 7 other cancer-focused labs. The campus also provides opportunities to learn about research from other institutions through regular seminars and invited speakers. Key Responsibilities Entry Level:

Why Join Us: | The Black lab at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus studies how epigenetics regulates gene copy number and genomic instability. We are interested in how environmental stress causes epigenetic changes that target DNA rereplication of genes important for stress response. We are investigating how these mechanisms contribute to gene amplifications in cancer and how these processes can be leveraged for more effective cancer treatment. We are looking for candidates with interests in understanding how epigenetics regulates the DNA rereplication response to metal stress, innate immune stress, and epithelial to mesynchymal transition. Candidates interested in how DNA rereplication contributes to generation of extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) are also encouraged to apply. We are a close-knit group of students, postdoctoral fellows and research specialists who collaborate with one another to help drive independent research projects. We meet frequently to give feedback on each other’s studies, discuss relevant publications and celebrate lab successes often with good food. The Anschutz Campus is situated just 25 minutes from the city of Denver and are fortunate to be close to hiking and skiing in the beautiful Rocky Mountains! Please join us! The University of Colorado offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes health insurance, life insurance, retirement plans, tuition benefits, ECO pass, paid time off – vacation, sick, and holidays and more.
