Nature of Work
The laboratory of Dr. Andrea Bonetto, Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology, is seeking two ambitious and talented individuals to take part in basic and translational research aimed at investigating the musculoskeletal consequences of cancer and its treatments, with a special focus on the inter-organ complications affecting muscle, bone and liver. These studies are funded by multiple sources, including NIH and American Cancer Society. The laboratory is also interested in unraveling the molecular causes responsible for the muscle and bone abnormalities resulting from metabolic dysfunctions and aging. The laboratory uses state-of-the-art technologies and tissue-specific mutant mouse models to examine the molecular mechanisms that trigger cancer-induced musculoskeletal defects. The projects are highly collaborative and multidisciplinary with excellent opportunities for advanced training and scientific development. Interested candidates will have extensive experience in skeletal muscle physiology, a background in cancer biology, and experience characterizing mouse models, as also evidenced by their publication records. A background in bone biology or willingness to develop an interest in skeletal physiology and muscle-bone crosstalk, as well as a basic knowledge in neuromuscular physiology are preferred. The candidates will join a dynamic and fast-paced research environment and will be responsible for the development of novel research methods, will conduct experiments using in vitro and in vivo approaches, will perform project planning, data interpretation, authorship of presentations and publications, lab management, and training of personnel. The PI is committed to supporting the candidate's career development and research progress, including fostering and facilitating grant submissions, attending and presenting at scientific meetings, and exploring new project areas and collaborations.
