MD Anderson Cancer Center
Postdoctoral Fellow - Urology - Research
MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, United States, 77246
Overview
Dr. Byron Lee's laboratory is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join a focused, collaborative team investigating how mutations in chromatin-modifying genes drive bladder cancer initiation, progression, and therapeutic response. We take on high-impact, innovative projects that bridge molecular mechanisms with translational relevance. Our research integrates biochemical, molecular, and cell biology approaches with genome editing, next-generation sequencing (including single-cell and spatial transcriptomics), and patient-derived and genetically engineered mouse models to uncover how chromatin regulation shapes tumor biology and immune interactions. Responsibilities
Design, execute, and troubleshoot experiments with a high standard of rigor and reproducibility. Drive independent projects from conception to publication. Analyze and interpret complex datasets (in vitro, in vivo, and -omics). Present findings in internal meetings and at national/international conferences. Contribute to grant writing and manuscript preparation. Qualifications
Recent Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in cancer biology, molecular biology, or a related field. Deep understanding of cancer biology, with mastery of core techniques in molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell biology. Strong publication record demonstrating independent productivity and effective teamwork. Excellent written and oral communication skills. Highly desirable: experience in computational biology (NGS data analysis) and/or mouse cancer models. Compensation and Benefits
MD Anderson follows NIH Kirschstein-NRSA stipend guidelines; salary $64,000-$76,400, commensurate with postdoctoral experience. MD Anderson offers full-time postdoc positions with a salary range of $64,000 to $76,000, with comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, paid time off, retirement, tuition benefits, and educational opportunities.
