Dr. Daniel Lucas (Experimental Hematology and Cancer Biology) is seeking a postdoctoral research fellow for immediate hire. While many of the signals that regulate HSC and their niches have been identified, we know very little about how the bone marrow senses and responds to changes in its environment.
How does it adjust blood cell production to organism demand? How does it sense hematopoietic injury and respond to restore homeostasis? What are the mechanisms that determine the size of the hematopoietic stem cell niche? How are the different components of the HSC niche regulated? Answering these questions is important because doing so will allow us to develop new therapeutic approaches to promote blood cell production during disease (for example, bone marrow failure and leukemia or lymphoma). MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: • Design, execute, and record laboratory experiments, and analyze the data. • Research and improve current methods and evaluate innovative techniques. Implement this knowledge in the Division/Department. • Present research at laboratory meetings, journal clubs, seminars, and meetings. • Draft, write, and edit scientific reports, papers, journal articles, abstracts, and grants. • Maintain currency in field through continuing education, literature, and seminars. • Attend required Cincinnati Children's training sessions and ensure regulatory compliance with all policies and procedures. • Perform other duties as assigned. REQUIRED • Ph.D. in related discipline, MD, or equivalent required. REQUIRED SKILLS: Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills. Demonstrate attention to detail, strong organizational skills, supervisory ability, and an innovative approach to experimental design. Computer literate and working knowledge of software applications (word processing, spreadsheet, and database). Analytical ability sufficient to compare data; mathematical ability sufficient to perform algebraic calculations and statistical analysis. Ability to synthesize information and to create and deal with new situations by applying past experiences.
