A Post-Doctoral Research Fellow position is immediately available in the Mayers Lab in the Human Biology Division at Fred Hutch. The core focus of the Mayers lab is to decode the metabolism of microbes in vivo and determine how these metabolic behaviors contribute to disease. Our work has implications for antibiotic resistant infections, structural lung diseases like COPD, and cancer development.
Fred Hutch has more than 200 postdoctoral fellows working in labs across all seven research divisions. We provide postdocs with the opportunity to work on the cutting edge of biomedical research in a supportive, collaborative environment with faculty and staff who are dedicated to helping their trainees achieve their career goals. In addition, both the Student/Postdoc Advisory Committee and the Office of Scientific Career Development offer diverse mentoring and career development opportunities
The post-doctoral fellow will initially join ongoing projects focusing on the identification of microbial metabolic features in diseases including infections and cancer, but will ultimately be expected to independently develop, guide, and complete an independent research project building from one of the core strengths of the lab.
The applicant will utilize approaches including preclinical mouse models, bacterial culture, mass spectrometry metabolomics, RNA and DNA sequencing, genetics, chemical biology, protein biochemistry, and standard molecular biology techniques to study the two key parts of metabolic reactions, the small molecule metabolites (nutrients) and the enzymes that make them. Applicants should be interested in basic science discovery as well as its application towards problems faced by patients with infections and/or cancer.
Scope of responsibilities
Applicant will design, conduct, analyze and report original experiments probing the metabolic requirements and alterations in cancer cells. This position is funded for at least 2 years with the possibility of additional years, depending on success in obtaining independent funding.
