Postdoctoral Research Associate - Oncology

Overview

A fully funded postdoctoral position is immediately available in Mark Hatley's laboratory in the Molecular Oncology Division of the Department of Oncology e Children's Research Hospital.

The Hatley lab studies how normal development processes are perturbed to drive pediatric embryonal tumors using rhabdomyosarcoma as a model system. Our findings defined the cell of origin of rhabdomyosarcoma, a presumed skeletal muscle tumor, as an endothelial progenitor cell. The lab leverages genetically engineered mouse models, patient-derived xenografts, human and mouse tumor and primary cell lines, as well as human induced pluripotent stem cells as model systems to interrogate the underlying pathobiology of pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma.

The Hatley lab is a collaborative, interactive environment focused on scientific and career development of trainees. The lab supports a healthy work/life balance and diversity with a focus on career development. Four former postdocs are now tenure track Assistant Professors at academic institutions. Dr. Hatley was the 2019 mentor of the year e. Successful applicants should have strong organizational and communication skills with drive and dedication to participate as a member of our team.
