Associate Research Scientist

The Institute for Cancer Genetics located at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) campus offers abundant learning opportunities in cancer research, data clubs, seminar series, journal clubs and university lectures.

The Zha lab investigates how defects in DNA repair and DNA damage responses impact normal immune system development, lymphomagenesis, and treatment responses. The lab has developed cutting-edge technologies, including high-throughput translocation sequencing, sing cell-seq, multi-color flow-cytometry, CRISPR-based depletion and activation screens, high-content live-cell imaging, and a collection of over sixty-five unique mouse models, including the serial of mouse models expressing catalytically inactive ATM, ATR, DNA-PKcs, and now PARP1 and PARP2, which revealed unexpected structural function of DNA damage response factors. More details can be found at zhalab.org . We invite committed young scientists to join us in the adventures.

The Associate Research Scientists position requires a PhD or equivalent doctoral degree plus three years of relevant work experience in molecular biology, genetics, cancer research, or related field.

Candidates must have a strong background in molecular and cancer biology, at least 3 years of postdoctoral research experience and a strong record of productive scientific research.

Incumbents will carry out experimental work on research projects established in liaison with individual laboratory PIs and perform experiments either independently or in collaboration with other lab members.
