Job Description
The Obeng Laboratory is seeking creative and highly motivated candidates for a fully supported postdoctoral fellowship studying the pathogenesis of myeloid malignancies. The major interests of the lab are determining how acquired mutations in hematopoietic stem cells lead to the development of clonal hematopoiesis, myelodysplastic syndrome, and leukemia, in addition to identifying and studying novel treatments that selectively target malignant clones.

In this position, you will gain extensive experience and training in genomics, stem cell biology, computational biology and pre-clinical study development. The Obeng lab is a highly collaborative and interactive environment focused on the scientific development of trainees. Our lab supports and encourages diversity and promotes career development.

To succeed in this position, applicants must have a strong cell and molecular biology background and an interest in working with in vivo model systems. Applicants with expertise in genome editing, RNA biology, computational biology, and working with hematopoietic stem cells are encouraged to apply.
