Postdoctoral and Undergraduate Research
Mentoring of students and postdoctoral fellows is a high priority. FredHutch offers multiple opportunities for career counseling, networking, and teaching/mentoring.
Research in the Hahn laboratory is not based on a single approach, but rather a variety of experimental technologies are used to explore fundamental mechanisms of transcription and its regulation. Approaches used include molecular genetics, genomics, computational biology, biochemistry, structural biology, and biophysics. The laboratory provides an excellent learning environment for students and postdoctoral fellows to address scientific questions using a multidisciplinary approach and through collaborations with other laboratories using cutting edge technologies. A joint group meeting and transcription-related journal club is held weekly and joint lab meetings with the Tsukiyama lab are held monthly. The Basic Sciences Division also offers a weekly forum for students and postdoctoral fellows to present their work to the Basic Sciences and Human Biology Divisions as well as a "chromatin club" where trainees working on chromatin, transcription and related topics present monthly.

Undergraduate Research
There is typically one position open per year for a summer internship or undergraduate research during the academic year.
