Position Description

The Hammell lab in the Cancer Center at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory invites applications from highly motivated candidates for a postdoctoral position working on cutting-edge research in molecular biology & genetics.
 
Our laboratory uses a variety of genetic, biochemical, and molecular approaches to understand how the activity of microRNAs is modulated in response to developmental and environmental cues and how oscillatory gene expression contributes to normal temporal cell fate specification during development. The Hammell lab's cross-disciplinary approach and application of various model systems (including C. elegans) will provide training and opportunities for a highly motivated scientist.
 
This project will span molecular and developmental genetics to structural biology and protein function. This project will focus on how a newly discovered molecular clock regulates transcriptional dynamics of conserved regulatory RNAs. This is an excellent opportunity to work with another cutting-edge structural biologist at CSHL, Leemor Joshua-Tor (HHMI), as a shared NIH R01 grant between our labs fully funds this position.

Position Requirements

Education: Ph.D. in molecular biology or related field is required. .
Experience/Skills: Prior experience with model organisms is advantageous; however, those with a strong background in molecular genetic and/or biochemical techniques are encouraged to apply.  Candidates should also be highly motivated and dedicated to research.

About Cold Spring Harbor Labora

Since 1890, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) has been a global leader in research and education. The international scientific community at CSHL provides a unique and stimulating atmosphere for doctoral research?an environment where students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty work side-by-side. The Watson School of Biological Sciences (WSBS) was founded on the belief that with well thought-out mechanisms, enthusiastic involvement of faculty, and highly motivated students, an innovative curriculum could be provided that would allow students to earn a doctoral degree in a shorter time than in traditional programs without compromising the quality of their training. The curriculum is designed to train students to become scholars and independent thinkers.
