We are seeking a highly motivated PhD and/or MD scientist to join our research program investigating the molecular regulation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), clonal evolution, and transformation in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and leukemogenesis.
The successful candidate will have expertise in one or more of the following areas:
· Hematopoiesis and stem cell biology
· Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs)
· Leukemogenesis
· Immunology and immune–hematopoietic interactions
Research Focus
Projects center on the role of HMGA chromatin regulators in:
· Normal HSC function and cell fate decisions
· MPN initiation and progression
· Clonal evolution, leukemic transformation, and immune interactions
This work integrates chromatin biology, functional genomics, organoids, mouse models, and translational approaches, with strong relevance to human disease.
Environment & Opportunities
· Highly collaborative and intellectually rich research environment
· Access to state-of-the-art technologies (e.g., single-cell and epigenomic approaches)
· Opportunities for first-author publications, grant writing, and career development
· Close integration of basic, translational, and clinically relevant research
Qualifications
· PhD and/or MD (or near completion) in hematology, immunology, cancer biology, or a related field
· Strong interest in chromatin regulation and hematologic malignancies
· Demonstrated productivity and ability to work independently and collaboratively
About the Employer
The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is one of the world’s leading biomedical research institutions, with a long-standing tradition of excellence in hematology, cancer biology, and translational medicine. The successful candidate will join a highly collaborative research environment with access to outstanding research and clinical resources, core facilities, and interdisciplinary expertise spanning basic, translational, and computational sciences.
