Surgical Sciences Research Position
University of Maryland, Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland, United States, 21276
Overview
Dr. Mas's laboratory within the Surgical Sciences Division at the Department of Surgery, University of Maryland is seeking a highly motivated and creative Assistant Professor researcher with a strong research background in molecular and cellular biology. Research in our lab focuses on epigenetic and genetic mechanisms of pathologic conditions that occur during liver and kidney transplantation by using state-of-the-art technologies such as single cell genomics. Selected candidates will perform highly interdisciplinary and translational scientific research involving human cell lines, mouse models, and clinical samples. The selected candidate will work together with the main lab PI in ongoing studies and establishing the basis for career independence during the next two years by submitting common (co-PI) and independent grants to Federal and non-Federal Funding agencies.
Individuals with Ph.D. and/or M.D. are encouraged to apply. Successful candidates will have achieved hypothesis-driven molecular biology research with a solid record of published scientific paper as first authors.
Responsibilities
Collaborate with the principal investigator to perform interdisciplinary and translational research using human cell lines, mouse models, and clinical samples.
Contribute to ongoing studies and lay groundwork for career independence by applying for co-PI and independent grants to Federal and non-Federal funding sources.
Utilize state-of-the-art technologies, including single cell genomics, to investigate epigenetic and genetic mechanisms in transplantation-related pathology.
Qualifications
Complete postdoctoral training in Molecular biology. Ph.D. and/or M.D. qualifications are eligible to apply.
Strong background in epigenetic processes, bulk-RNAseq, single cell RNAseq, and multiomics approaches.
Strong writing and communication skills; experience in analysis of genomics data and next-generation sequencing library preparations (RNA-seq, ChIP-Seq) preferred.
Experience with CRISPR genome engineering technologies is valued. Student mentoring and grant writing experience are required. Strong leadership skills are required.
Application Materials Interested candidates should email CV and contact information for three references to Valeria R. Mas, MS, PhD, FAST, Professor of Surgery, at vmas@som.umaryland.edu.
