job description

We seek a postdoctoral fellow with strong research skills to join our lab at Baylor College of Medicine. Successful candidate must have a Ph.D. degree (or a Ph.D. degree by the starting date) in biological sciences, and proficiency in molecular biology methods. RNAs have rapidly emerged as the key players in fundamental biological processes, as well as the bridge to future medicine. Our laboratory is interested in the roles of RNA mutational events in human prostate and ovarian cancer, and their utilities for diagnosis/therapy. The RNA events under investigation include chimera, alternative splicing, RNA editing, and alternative polyadenylation /miRNA targeting, and encompass both coding and non-coding RNA. We use cutting-edge next generation sequencing of patient cancer samples, in combination with cell cultures and animal models in pursuit of our goals. Successful candidate will work closely with the PI and other team members, and coordinate all phases of study. Baylor College of Medicine is a world-renowned research institution located in the heart of the Texas Medical Center. Ample opportunities exist for scientific interaction with neighboring institutes such as MD Anderson Cancer Center, Rice University, the Texas A&M Institute of Bioscience, and many research hospitals. The breadth and quality of biomedical science in the Texas Medical Center rivals that of any biomedical research center in the world. Our lab interacts regularly with several other labs in the Texas Medical Center including joint lab meetings and a weekly RNA journal club. The lab is funded by grants from NIH and Department of Defense. We offer competitive salary based on experience.
