海外博士后招收

A postdoctoral position is available in the molecular and cellular cancer biology laboratory of Dr. Wei Li in the Department of Pediatrics at Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine located at Hershey, Pennsylvania.

We are interested in studying intercellular interactions during tissue homeostasis and determining how de-regulated interactions among cells promote cell transformation and tumor progression. The goal of our research is to find molecular targets and biomarkers for cancer therapy. We integrate molecular, cellular, and biochemical approaches in combination with mouse tumorigenesis models. Currently, one of our major focuses is elucidating the regulation and function of the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway in brain tumors. In addition, we are using in vitro and in vivo models to study the role of tumor microenvironment in glioma malignant transformation. For more information of Dr. Li's laboratory, please refer to: https://sites.psu.edu/weililab/.

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with strong interests in the molecular basis of cancer. The candidate should have strong research experience in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology. A background in immunology, mouse models of cancer, especially brain tumors, or neural development, is preferred. Successful applicants should have a recent PhD or MD degree and are expected to have a strong work ethic, excellent organizational and communication skills, and critical thinking abilities. Please send your CV, statement of research interest, expected availability date along with contact information for three references (including previous advisers) to the e-mail address:weili@pennstatehealth.psu.edu
