The Cancer Stem Cell Dynamics laboratory of Dirk Loeffler is seeking exceptionally motivated and ambitious candidates for a Postdoctoral Position, starting Jan. 1st, 2024, or the earliest date thereafter. If you are curious, creative, and goal-oriented with a keen interest in science, technology, and data this is the right position for you!
We study the genetic and epigenetic changes in blood stem and progenitor cells during hematopoietic diseases and aging. The ideal candidate is curious, self-motivated, independent, hard-working, and has excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Experiences in cell and molecular biology or related fields and a strong desire to learn new techniques are prerequisites. A background in hematology is preferred but not required and candidates from a wide variety of fields with a genuine interest in stem cells and the origins of cancer are encouraged to apply.
You will have the opportunity to work with a young and talented interdisciplinary team to decipher the molecular mechanisms regulating normal and mutant blood stem cell behaviors and decisions. Our laboratory uses molecular and cell biological tools, mouse models, next-generation sequencing, high-resolution 3D microscopy, gene-editing, bioinformatics, and novel long-term continuous quantitative live-cell imaging to understand the molecular mechanisms of hematological diseases at the single-cell level to develop novel therapies.
