Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center

With a track record of global leadership in bone marrow transplantation, HIV/AIDS prevention, immunotherapy and COVID-19 vaccines, Fred Hutch has earned a reputation as one of the world's leading cancer, infectious disease and biomedical research centers.. Fred Hutch operates eight clinical care sites that provide medical oncology, infusion, radiation, proton therapy and related services, and network affiliations with hospitals in five states.. The Hadland lab is seeking a highly qualified and motivated postdoctoral fellow to work in a collaborative environment leading research on the mechanisms of hematopoietic stem cell development and leukemogenesis.. This position will focus on leveraging mouse models, human pluripotent stem cells, and engineered vascular models combined with single cell technologies and computational approaches to study the dynamics of normal developmental hematopoiesis and the prenatal origins of pediatric leukemias.. Additional experience in culture and differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells, primary human and murine blood cells, flow cytometry, gene editing, proteomics, immunohistochemistry, and/or microscopy is a plus.

post doctoral research fellow

Overview Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center is an independent, nonprofit organization providing adult cancer treatment and groundbreaking research focused on cancer and infectious diseases. Based in Seattle, Fred Hutch is the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in Washington. With a track record of global leadership in bone marrow transplantation, HIV/AIDS prevention, immunotherapy and COVID-19 vaccines, Fred Hutch has earned a reputation as one of the world's leading cancer, infectious disease and biomedical research centers. Fred Hutch operates eight clinical care sites that provide medical oncology, infusion, radiation, proton therapy and related services, and network affiliations with hospitals in five states. Together, our fully integrated research and clinical care teams seek to discover new cures to the world's deadliest diseases and make life beyond cancer a reality. At Fred Hutch we value collaboration, compassion, determination, excellence, innovation, integrity and respect. These values are grounded in and expressed through the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion. Our mission is directly tied to the humanity, dignity and inherent value of each employee, patient, community member and supporter.

Fred Hutch is in pursuit of becoming an anti-racist organization. We are committed to ensuring that all candidates hired share our commitment to diversity, anti-racism and inclusion. The Hadland lab is seeking a highly qualified and motivated postdoctoral fellow to work in a collaborative environment leading research on the mechanisms of hematopoietic stem cell development and leukemogenesis. The focus of our lab is to unravel the dynamic intercellular interactions and signal pathways governing the generation of blood and immune cells during embryonic development and apply this knowledge toward engineering novel approaches for the study and treatment of blood and immune disorders. This position will focus on leveraging mouse models, human pluripotent stem cells, and engineered vascular models combined with single cell technologies and computational approaches to study the dynamics of normal developmental hematopoiesis and the prenatal origins of pediatric leukemias. The position will provide opportunities to advance translational applications in the areas of gene and cellular therapies and disease modeling, and for collaborations with colleagues in UW Genome Sciences and Bioengineering. This position is ideally suited for a candidate who enjoys working collaboratively across disciplines, mentoring junior scientific investigators, and contributing to an innovative academic environment to forge new scientific directions. Responsibilities Handling projects independently, including literature reviews, experimental design, and data analysis, under the guidance of the laboratory PI. Contributing to the preparation of research reports, publications, and oral presentations. Opportunities for presentations at scientific conferences and symposiums. Qualifications PhD in a relevant field (molecular biology, cell biology, genome sciences, developmental biology, immunology, or related fields). Track record of productive research, with high quality first-author publications. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are essential. Experience in molecular biology and cell culture techniques is required. Experience in genomics, single cell transcriptomics, and bioinformatic analysis is desired. Additional experience in culture and differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells, primary human and murine blood cells, flow cytometry, gene editing, proteomics, immunohistochemistry, and/or microscopy is a plus. A statement describing your commitment and contributions toward greater diversity, equity, inclusion, and antiracism in your career or that will be made through your work at Fred Hutch is requested of all finalists.
