The Dudley Lab in the Departments of Pathology and Oncology at the Johns Hopkins Hospital seeks a postdoctoral scientist to lead an externally-funded research project focused on the early detection of cancer using cell-free nucleic acids.
The Dudley lab focuses on molecular diagnostic technology development for the improved detection and characterization of solid tumors. It is located in the brand-new Johns Hopkins Genomics facility, with unique access to state-of-the-art equipment and expertise. The postdoctoral fellow will form collaborative relationships with leading clinical faculty at Johns Hopkins and other top tier academic medical centers. The postdoctoral fellow will also have the opportunity to interact with a biotech start-up relating to their work.
The ideal candidate will be about to complete a PhD, MD, or MD-PhD in the U.S. at the time of applying and have experience with DNA and/or RNA sequencing, including wetlab techniques and bioinformatics. The postdoctoral fellow will work in a collaborative and collegial laboratory environment. The fellow will hold weekly one-on-one meetings with the PI and be fully supported in applying for external awards and fellowships. The candidate will be well-positioned upon completion of the fellowship for advanced career opportunities in academia, industry, or entrepreneurship.
