TWO POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONSCancer Molecular Biology with Clinical

Translation

Two Postdoctoral positions are available at the Uni-versity of Colorado at Denver Health Sciences Centerfor talented and dedicated scientists to join a multi-disciplinary team committed to clinically translatingnovel epidermal growth factor receptor–family activ-ities in breast cancer.Project one will focus on the emerging field of

receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) nuclear signaling. Wehave identified an RTK that regulates therapeuticresponse and functions as both a transcriptional co-activator and a BH3-only protein. The successful can-didate will employ gene expression and promoterarrays, mouse models, and breast cancer patient sam-ples to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of RTKnuclear signaling contributing to breast cancer. Thiscandidate will have a strong background in molec-ular biology with experience performing chromatinimmunoprecipitation a must and experience in epi-genetics and/or analysis of mouse phenotypes a plus.Project two involves the characterization of a novel

oncogene in breast cancer that promotes therapeuticresistance, alters miRNA expression, and silences tumorsuppressors. The interested candidate will develop adiagnostic assay and decipher the molecular basis oftherapeutic evasion mediated by this oncogene. Thiscandidate will have a strong background in molec-ular biology with experience in TaqMan assay devel-opment and epigenetic analysis a must and experiencein the analysis of xenograft models, miRNA activity,and/or cellular signaling pathways a plus.Both candidates must be highly motivated and have

a strong desire to clinically translate their findings.Interested applicants with a Ph.D., M.D., or M.D./Ph.D. degree should send their curriculum vitae,description of research accomplishments and inter-ests, and contact information for three professionalreferences to: Dr. Frank Jones, e-mail: frank.jones@uchsc.edu.
