The Frock laboratory at Stanford University is looking for a talented individual to study mechanisms of DNA double-stranded break (DSB) repair, recombination, and chromosomal translocations.  We employ cutting edge functional (epi)genomics and molecular biology approaches, leveraging a variety of designer (e.g. SpCas9, SaCas9, Cas12, etc.) and physiological (e.g. RAG1/2, AID, SPO11, etc.) endonucleases to elucidate DSB repair and off-targeting mechanisms in their surrounding chromatin structured contexts.
 
Ideal for those with experience in cell culture, molecular biology, and seeking to acquire or strengthen expertise in gene editing methodologies, bioinformatics, and DNA DSB repair and DNA damage response topics. The position appointment term will be for 1 year and can be renewed on an annual basis based on performance.
