One Postdoctoral Associate position is available in the lab of Dr. Tao Wu in the Department of Molecular & Human Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine ( https://www.bcm.edu/research/labs-and-centers/faculty-labs/tao-wu-lab ). The Wu lab focuses on the epigenetic mechanisms of cancer therapeutic resistance; in particular, the functional mechanisms of novel DNA and RNA modifications (such as 6mA). We seek to decipher the epigenetic driver mechanisms underlying cancer treatment resistance, to define new biomarkers, and to develop new approaches to bypass the therapeutic resistance. We apply multiple wet lab techniques, as well as dry lab genomic profiling and bioinformatics approaches in cancer research.

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Associate whose research will focus on cancer biology.  This position will study the epigenetic mechanisms underlying cancer acquired drug-resistance and the epigenetic functional mechanisms in the cancer-immunity cross-talk. Training background should be on molecular biology, cell biology, cancer biology.

Please apply at https://jobs.bcm.edu/job/Houston-Postdoctoral-Associate-Texa/685083400/

The candidate should be well-versed with the molecular biology work that includes mammalian cell culture, shRNA based knockdowns, CRISPR knockout, phenotypic assessment using functional studies, qRT-PCR, immunoblotting, and high-throughput sequencing.

Ideal candidates should be able to creatively conceive the study, critically design experiments and insightfully analyze the data. Applicants should be self-motivated, open-minded, detail-oriented and collaborative. 

Application process:

All applicants are encouraged to apply at https://jobs.bcm.edu.  Work visa sponsorship available for qualified candidates.

In addition to submitting an application, applicants should send a cover letter describing past research experience and potential research projects, a curriculum vitae, and the contact information of three references to Dr. Tao Wu (Tao.Wu@bcm.edu) with the subject line “Postdoc Application _ (Your Name)”.
