Postdoctoral Position – Arango Lab
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Chicago, Illinois, United States, 60290
Overview
Job Title:
Postdoctoral Position – Arango Lab Job Number:
106008 Location:
Chicago, US We are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher interested in tRNA modifications, translation from non-canonical open reading frames, and cancer immunology. The group investigates the molecular mechanisms by which post-transcriptional modifications of RNA regulate protein synthesis and how these mechanisms affect cell fate decisions in oncogenic processes. We integrate RNA biology, transcriptomics, chemical biology, and cancer biology to uncover novel mechanisms of gene expression regulation and to develop new tools and methods that can be harnessed for therapeutic means. This work is conducted within Northwestern University – Feinberg School of Medicine, in a highly collaborative environment with translational and basic science researchers. Responsibilities
Conduct research on post-transcriptional RNA modifications and their impact on protein synthesis and cell fate in oncogenic contexts. Investigate translation from non-canonical open reading frames and related regulatory mechanisms. Apply and develop methods spanning RNA biology, transcriptomics, chemical biology, and cancer biology to uncover gene expression regulation and generate new tools with therapeutic potential. Qualifications
Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Chemical Biology, or RNA Biochemistry. Experience in cancer immunology and/or ribosome profiling (Ribo-seq) or other transcriptomics methods is desirable. How to Apply
Interested individuals should submit a single PDF containing a CV, a summary of research interests, accomplishments, and scientific experience, and the contact information of at least three references. Please send applications via email to Daniel Arango, Ph.D. (Northwestern University). Contact and Website
