Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Boston, MA
A Research Associate – Research Technician position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Keith Ligon in the fields of brain tumor biology and precision medicine in the Department of Pathology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Prior laboratory research experience (1–3 years preferred) is strongly encouraged. The position will involve multidisciplinary studies of cancer cell biology and mechanisms of treatment response and resistance in adult and pediatric gliomas, with a focus on patient-derived tumor models (including organoids and PDX) and functional genomics approaches (e.g., CRISPR-based perturbation). The role will include routine mammalian cell culture, in vivo work using mouse models (including PDX), and molecular and cellular assays to study tumor biology and drug response. Prior hands-on experience with in vivo mouse models is strongly preferred. Developing independence will be fostered, and opportunities for intellectual input will be readily available. The Ligon lab...
