job description

The laboratory of Dr. Abhijit Patel, MD, PhD in the Yale University School of Medicine is seeking to hire a postdoctoral fellow to work on a project that aims to develop and validate a new method for measuring the level of tumor-derived DNA in the blood as a biomarker for monitoring cancer treatment efficacy and for early detection. Although the primary goal will be to develop a DNA-based biomarker for ovarian cancer, the approach is more broadly applicable to other types of cancer as well.
The candidate should have a background in molecular biology, and preferably an interest in nucleic acid biochemistry. Since the laboratory is focused on the development of new methods, an aptitude for innovative thinking is imperative. Please send a CV and a brief cover letter describing your background and interests to abhipatelx@yahoo.com. Promising candidates will be asked to provide reference letters at a later date. International candidates can be interviewed over the phone or via Skype.
