Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (inStem) is inviting applications for the post of Post-doctoral associate in In vivo Biology.
About the project:
- Responsible for execution of in vivo and ex vivo studies related to new approaches for cancer therapy using genetically engineered murine models.
- This work will not only involve scientific studies to investigate the biology and pathogenesis of cancer, but also to study the effect of small molecule intervention using novel compounds and/or biologic agents.
- Training will be provided for the performance of in vivo ultrasonography for assessment of tumour development, and assessment of impact of therapy.
Qualifications:
- Applicant must hold Doctoral degree in Biological Sciences, Pharmacology or related field.
- Applicant must have at least 3 years’ experience of research using mouse models of cancer.
- Applicant must possess the laboratory expertise including animal husbandry and colony management, proficiency in DNA, RNA and protein isolation, Genotyping and PCR.
Desirables:
- Experience in working with genetically engineered mouse models including cellular and molecular biological procedures.
- Experience in conducting in vivo preclinical cancer chemoprevention and therapeutics experiments desired.
- Experience in in-vivo experimental techniques including oral gavage, tail-vein bleeding and necropsy for tissue collection, as well as generation of primary tumour cell lines, mouse embryo fibroblast generation and development of xenograft models.
- Experience with RT-PCR, Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry, as well as in cell culture and cell biology methods, is desired.
How to apply:
- Applications to be sent via email to jobs-ccbt@instem.res.in. following must be included with the applications:
- CV
- Publication list
- 3 professional referees with contact details
- Applicant must quote “In Vivo” and designation in the subject line of email.
