Postdoctoral Research Fellow - (ikegami)single - cell Chromatin Biology And Genomics - Ikegami Lab

Postdoctoral Position in Chromatin Biology

The Ikegami lab at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is recruiting highly motivated postdocs interested in developing a new tool to study chromatin biology at single cell levels. The lab has an ongoing project aiming to develop a transformative technique for mapping chromatin proteins in the genome in single cells. Candidates interested in genomics, chromatin biology, epigenetics, single cell techniques, or translational research using genomic techniques are highly encouraged to apply. A prior experience in experimental and computational genomics is a plus, but not required. Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is a home to world-class investigators working on chromatin biology and genomics. This postdoctoral position will enjoy a highly collaborative environment within and outside the medical center.

Major duties and responsibilities include:

• 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.

Education/experience 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. Expressed willingness to teach others and share results. Capable of meeting time demands necessary to execute experiments.
