Job Description

The Experimental Pathology Service is led by internationally recognized expert in breast cancer genomics and bioinformatics, Dr. Jorge Reis-Filho. The Reis-Filho Laboratory applies a combination of cutting-edge pathology tools, genomics methods and single cell sequencing approaches to understand the biological basis and clinical impact of intra-tumor heterogeneity, and to discover and validate novel biomarkers to guide the therapy of cancer patients on the basis of specific DNA repair defects.

The Reis-Filho Laboratory is seeking a highly motivated individual to join our multidisciplinary team. We are looking for highly motivated postdoctoral fellows with great communication skills and a collaborative spirit. For these positions, applicants should have experience in working with in vitro cell line and organoid models of breast cancer, as well as knowledge of bioinformatics approaches for the analysis of single cell sequencing.

In this role, the postdoctoral fellow would be expected to work independently and as part of a team, collaborating with other researchers and analysts to advance the research on the Reis-Filho Laboratory. They should be able to communicate their findings effectively, both orally and in writing, and be able to present their work at scientific conferences and meetings.

A PhD in a related field, such as molecular biology, computational biology, bioinformatics or biomedical sciences, is required. Significant experience in breast cancer biology and genomic technology is highly desired. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as attention to detail, are also important.

The laboratory offers a multidisciplinary and vibrant environment, with molecular biologists, pathologists, clinicians, bioinformaticians and computer scientists working together to address fundamental questions in cancer evolution and DNA repair by utilizing a variety of different techniques.

The ideal candidate should have:

• PhD or equivalent in molecular biology, computational biology, bioinformatics or biomedical sciences
• Experience in working with in vitro cell line and organoid models
• Experience with single cell sequencing analysis
