**************************************** Following is from November, 2008*****************************
The Canary
Center @ Stanford is currently under development through an
alliance
between the Canary Foundation, the Department of Radiology, and the
School of Medicine
at Stanford University. The mission of the center is to foster
research leading to the development of blood tests and imaging
approaches to
detect and localize early cancers. This
effort will involve using proteomic approaches to discover and validate
biomarkers. Toward this end we are
establishing a proteomics core facility to serve as a resource for the
early
detection research community, for which we are seeking a staff level
Director.
The
Proteomics Facility Core Director for the Canary Center
@ Stanford has primary responsibility for serving as a resource to help
early detection faculty
and researchers in the Center, on the Stanford campus, and at other
collaborating institutions interface with the core resources. The
director will
play a central role in helping researchers create technical strategies
and
solve problems relating to proteome discovery and validation. The
director with also work with vendors to
purchase and service core equipment and will be responsible for
maintaining,
enhancing, and operating proteomic platforms including mass
spectrometers. The director will also work to schedule and
train individuals to use the core equipment and related software.
Other responsibilities include supervising
core research scientists and technicians, coordinating with IT
personnel,
bioinformatics faculty, and program administrators. This
position will report
directly to the Director of the Canary Center @ Stanford.
