Job Description:
Position Summary A postdoctoral position is available in the
Flick laboratory within the UNC Blood Research Center at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Individuals with
experience in either cancer biology or coagulation/thrombosis and
interest in interdisciplinary work to drive understanding in this
exciting frontier are encouraged to apply. Anticipated work will
include cell and molecular biology, mouse tumor and thrombosis
models, and translational assays in clinical coagulation. Cancer
biology and blood biology are inseparably linked. Cancer increases
the risk of bleeding and inappropriate blood clots (thrombosis),
both of which decrease quality and quantity of life. Ironically,
recent success in cancer therapies has increased the incidence of
clotting complications in patients with cancer. At the same time,
we are becoming increasingly aware of the central contributions of
blood and vascular cell clotting activity in cancer pathogenesis.
Proteins traditionally associated with blood clot formation and
composition, including fibrinogen, plasminogen, and tissue factor
are major determinants of tumor growth and metastatic risk.
Increased knowledge at the intersection of cancer and blood biology
will enhance understanding of both fields. Required Qualifications,
Competencies, And Experience Candidates must have high initiative
and enthusiasm for research, exceptional organizational skills, and
strong oral and written communication skills. Preferred
Qualifications, Competencies, And Experience Experience in mouse
models of cancer and/or coagulation biology preferred. Working
knowledge of mouse surgical techniques.
