The posting

POST-DOCTORAL POSITION available in Dr. Dipanjan Chowdhury’s laboratory at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, to study the molecular biology of DNA repair. A strong doctoral-level background in biochemistry, cell, or molecular biology is essential. Previous published expertise in bioinformatic/proteomics or animal models is preferred. Ph.D. is required.

Located in Boston and the surrounding communities, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a leader in life changing breakthroughs in cancer research and patient care. We are united in our mission of conquering cancer, HIV/AIDS, and related diseases. We strive to create an inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment where we provide compassionate and comprehensive care to patients of all backgrounds, and design programs to promote public health particularly among high-risk and underserved populations. We conduct groundbreaking research that advances treatment, we educate tomorrow's physician/researchers, and we work with amazing partners, including other Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospitals.

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Research & Project LeadershipDesign, execute, and troubleshoot experiments to study DNA damage response, genome maintenance, and related pathways in cancer models. Develop and refine hypotheses, experimental strategies, and project timelines in consultation with Dr. Chowdhury. Analyze, interpret, and integrate data from molecular, cellular, and genomic assays.
  • Experimental TechniquesPerform standard and advanced molecular biology and cell biology techniques (e.g., cloning, CRISPR-based gene editing, qPCR, Western blotting, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry). Culture and manipulate mammalian cell lines and/or primary cells; establish and characterize experimental models relevant to the lab’s research focus. Utilize genomic and/or transcriptomic approaches (e.g., RNA-seq, DNA-seq, functional screens) as appropriate to project goals. Work with in vivo models (if applicable to the project), including planning and coordinating animal studies in collaboration with core facilities.
  • Data Management & DisseminationMaintain accurate, detailed, and well-organized electronic lab notebooks and records. Prepare figures, presentations, and manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals. Present research findings at internal lab meetings, institutional seminars, and national/international conferences.
  • Collaboration & MentorshipCollaborate with other lab members, core facilities, and external collaborators to advance project aims. Provide informal mentorship and technical guidance to students, research assistants, and junior trainees in the lab. Contribute to a positive, inclusive, and intellectually rigorous lab culture.
  • Grants & Career DevelopmentContribute to the preparation of grant applications, progress reports, and related documents. Pursue opportunities for fellowships and career development awards, with mentorship from Dr. Chowdhury. Engage in professional development activities offered by Dana-Farber/Harvard Medical School (e.g., workshops, seminars, career panels).

Qualifications

  • PhD or MD/PhD in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Cancer Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, or a related field (or anticipated completion within the next 6–12 months).
  • Strong publication record commensurate with training stage, including at least one first-author paper (published or in advanced preparation/submission) in a relevant area.
  • Demonstrated expertise in core molecular and cell biology techniques; experience with DNA damage response, genome stability, or cancer biology is highly desirable.
  • Experience with one or more of the following is a plus:CRISPR-based functional genomics High-throughput sequencing and bioinformatic analysis In vivo cancer models Radiation biology or targeted therapy studies
  • Excellent analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong written and oral communication skills, with the ability to present complex data clearly.
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, team-oriented research environment.

At Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, we work every day to create an innovative, caring, and inclusive environment where every patient, family, and staff member feels they belong. As relentless as we are in our mission to reduce the burden of cancer for all, we are committed to having faculty and staff who offer multifaceted experiences. Cancer knows no boundaries and when it comes to hiring the most dedicated and compassionate professionals, neither do we.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
