SUMMARY:  Transcriptional and Epigenetic Control of Tumor Progression and Metastasis: Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) and Beyond

Position is available in the Rauscher Laboratory immediately to study the transcriptional control mechanisms, epigenetics and chromatin biology contributing to tumor progression and metastasis. The first Project involves the Snail/Slug/Zeb master regulators of EMT during acquisition and epigenetic maintenance of the metastatic and stem cell phenotype.  The laboratory has recently discovered key novel components of the chromatin-bound transcriptional machinery which are required for repression by these zinc-finger proteins. (see: Dev. Cell.  14:424, 2008, Mol. Cell. Biol:  28: 3198, 2008, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 107:2938,  2010, Cancer Res. 70: 4385, 2010,  Mol. Cell. Biol. 30: 5071, 2010).  Work in progress has identified kinases dedicated to this pathway which mediate assembly of these components and are good molecular targets for therapeutics.  The second Project involves the BAP1 tumor and metastasis suppressor gene, originally discovered by the Rauscher laboratory (Oncogene 16:1097, 1998), which has now been rediscovered as a chromatin directed de-ubiquinase that is mutated in multiple sporadic and hereditary tumors types (Nat. Genet. 43:688, 1018, 1022. 2011).  We will use forward/reverse genetic approaches, biochemical purification of macro-molecular complexes/proteomic approaches, structural biology approaches and functional analysis of components in knock-out mice and mouse models of cancer metastasis.  Successful candidate will be trained in a highly interactive environment of top cancer biology and chromatin biology researchers at The Wistar Institute and The University of Pennsylvania (http://www.wistar.org/research_facilities/geneexpress.html). 

We will exploit this system using forward/reverse genetic approaches, biochemical purification of macro-molecular complexes/proteomic approaches, structural biology approaches and functional analysis of components in knock-out mice and mouse models of breast cancer metastasis. 

QUALIFICATIONS:  We seek highly energetic, ambitious candidates with a recent Ph.D. and training in molecular cancer biology, biochemistry, pharmacology and developmental biology.  We offer highly competitive salary and benefits package.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST RESEARCH STATION

USDA FOREST SERVICE

RESEARCH AIR QUALITY ENGINEER

OUTREACH NOTICE

Summary

The AirFire Team of the U.S. Forest Service seeks a research air quality engineer interested in wildland fire smoke and air quality issues.  Early-career through established scientists are encouraged to apply.  The position is located in Seattle.

Air Quality Engineer

The AirFire Team of the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, Pacific Wildfire Sciences Laboratory in Seattle, Washington seeks to fill a permanent, full time air quality engineer research position. The position falls within the range of GS-12 through GS-14 pay grades ($73,420 - $134,118) with final grade determination based in part on the applicant’s qualifications.

The AirFire Team’s research program includes climate dynamics, synoptic and mesoscale meteorology, and air quality issues related to forestry, with particular emphasis on forest fires (http://www.airfire.org).  As a key member of the Team, the scientist in this position performs research related to smoke dispersion and transport from forest fires, and forest fire impact on regional haze. The goals of the work are improved understanding of the physical and chemical atmospheric processes unique to forest fires, and development of tools or training that convey both existing and new technology to fire and smoke managers, land management agency administrators, and policy makers for decision support.

The major duties of this position are:

?      Improving Forest Service ability to respond to new and existing regional haze rules, the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), and the impacts on air quality and visibility from biomass smoke.  The work includes basic research on factors controlling emission variability, terrain interactions, non-convective transport, and plume dynamics, as well as applied research in the form of model development and testing, assessing air quality impacts from multiple sources at a variety of scales, developing realistic emission scenarios under a variety of climate and burning conditions, and developing ways to use monitoring networks and remote sensing for quantifying impacts from fire.

?      Perform research to increase our understanding of the role of fire in air quality issues, including real-time prediction of smoke impacts; regional haze; climate interactions with emissions and dispersion, atmospheric impacts on particle and gas emissions and resulting concentrations.  This work includes, among other things, coupling Lagrangian with Eulerian models, and developing methods that help reduce negative impacts of smoke from wildland fire.

?      Leading work on development, testing and evaluation of the BlueSky smoke modeling framework (http://blueskyframework.org).  This aspect of the position involves design and creation of new models and tools to better predict smoke impacts, and leading new field experiments to collect data for evaluation and development work.  Field work can require flying, driving, and short-notice deployment in wildfire rapid response situations.

The candidate must have a Doctorate degree in air quality engineering or a related field.  Candidates with excellent writing, speaking, and teaching skills are sought since they must be able to communicate their work to both the scientific and land management communities.  Leadership roles on past projects, including a proven ability to obtain research funding are important.  Experience with meteorological and air quality computer models such as WRF, HYSPLIT, FLEXPART, SciPuff, and/or CMAQ is necessary. Familiarity with current wildland fire consumption and emission models (such as CONSUME, FOFEM, FINN, or equivalents) is highly desirable, as is experience with the BlueSky smoke modeling framework. Strong skills using LINUX-based operating systems; programming in languages such as C/C++, Fortran, and Python; and operating particulate monitoring instruments is essential.
