A post-doctoral appointment is open in the Department of Pathology at Stanford University in the lab of Drs. M. van de Rijn and West to study the mechanisms of neoplasia in sarcomas.

Specifically, we are interested in identifying the critical gene pathways and cellular functions that could be targeted in the development of novel clinical therapies. We use a combination of high throughput sequencing, gene profiling, and molecular imaging technologies to better understand these tumors.

A successful applicant will have prior experience in gene expression profiling or cancer genomics and background in pathology, molecular biology and/or regulation of gene expression. A demonstrated publication record in these or related areas is essential along with excellent communication skills, and ability to work independently and together on a team.

Interested applicants please send a brief cover letter describing your previous research experience and current interests, updated CV and names of three potential referees to:
