Senior Instructor; should have a minimum of two years of experience as a fellow/equivalent in a reputable institution and should have demonstrated scholarship through research, publications and/or contribution to education.
The position entails co-directing a comprehensive cytogenetics laboratory, which involves conducting chromosome analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and analysis of neoplastic and constitutional specimens. Therefore, you should possess substantial experience in these areas, preferably with at least three to five years of experience.
Additionally, you are expected to demonstrate strong capabilities in clinical, translational, or laboratory-based research. This indicates the importance of not only clinical expertise but also the ability to contribute to advancing knowledge and understanding in the field through research endeavors.
