Title: Senior Fellow (Post Doctoral) Hematology Research - General Internal Medicine

Position Details

Position Description

A postdoctoral position is available in the hematology research laboratory of Dr. David Dale in the Division of General Internal Medicine, Department of Medicine at the University of Washington. The laboratory’s work is directed toward understanding the mechanisms and finding therapies for hereditary hematological diseases causing neutropenia. The specific responsibilities for this position include developing and performing in-process and end-product assays using human cell lines. This is a full-time position on an annual, 12 month appointment. 

This position requires substantial expertise in assay development, preferably with experience in human hematopoietic and induced pluripotent cell culture, flow cytometry, western blotting, PCR and DNA sequencing. The work will use pharmacological and gene editing approaches to abrogating the cellular abnormalities triggered by disease causing mutations. The ideal candidate will have the knowledge, skills, and ability to develop modifications and improvements to existing methods and protocols.

Under the general guidance of the team leader, this position will be required to work independently to reach established milestones and goals. This position will also be expected to work collaboratively with fellow research personnel, monitor the work of both peer and junior staff, and redirect efforts to achieve task/project objectives or enhance the quality of the project when necessary.
