PhD or MD/PhD degree within the last two years and a strong record of peer-reviewed publications. Desirable expertise includes: mechanisms of chemotherapy agents and toxicity, disease modeling, pharmacogenomics, GWAS, TALEN/CRISPR genome editing, bioinformatics, high-throughput biology and drug screening, electrophysiology, hiPSC derivation, culture, and differentiation (cardiac/skeletal muscle/endothelial/blood/hepatocyte/lung/renal/neural), engraftment, and developmental/cardiovascular biology. Good verbal and written communication skills in English are essential. The successful candidate will join a dynamic research environment in the Department of Pharmacology, which offers both basic science and clinical translational opportunities to explore fundamental questions in pharmacogenomics.
