USA: Postdoctoral Position in the Division of Molecular Radiation Biology, University of Texas Health Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas

One Postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Division of Molecular Radiation Biology/Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Texas Health Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. The applicant will work on elucidating the biochemical and genetic basis of radiosensitivity associated with a biologically distinct subset of non small cell lung cancers. Projects will involve mechanisms underlying repair of radiation-induced DNA damage, receptor tyrosine kinase signaling, and signaling pathways that regulate radiation-induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The successful candidate should hold a Ph.D. degree in biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, or other related fields, with a strong record of creativity and scientific productivity. The candidate must be creative, self-motivated with clear career goals, possess strong problem solving and critical thinking skills, and be capable of working independently or with minimum supervision in a collaborative setting. Candidate must be able to handle more than one project and work in a fast-paced work environment.
