dedicated to our employees, investing in competitive compensation

post-doctoral research fellows/scientists to work in the field of
precision medicine. The Shah lab at Mayo Clinic focuses on the
development of and treatment for an aggressive blood cancer known
as TP53-mutated myeloid neoplasm. These leukemias are highly
aggressive and have no effective therapies yet. Two general themes
in lab include (i) Pathogenesis of TP53mut MN and (ii) Drug
discovery. The applicant will focus mainly on the pathogenesis
projects. Specifically, we are interested in understanding the
sequence of events that leads to the development of the leukemia.
Studying these events can hopefully allow to intervene before the
leukemia develops. We employ in vitro (using patient samples) and
in vivo studies to that end. Successful candidate will have a PhD
in molecular biology or related fields with 1-3 years of experience
and a strong publication record. Candidates should be well versed
in standard cellular and molecular biology techniques (cell
culture, DNA, RNA, and protein studies, gene editing, and flow
cytometry). Interest and prior experience with mouse work—including
xenograft model—is highly desired. Qualifications Must have a Ph.D.
degree in a field deemed relevant by the program. Research Fellow
is appropriate for individuals who have completed no more than one
prior postdoctoral fellowship, at Mayo Clinic or elsewhere.
