The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Science Park invites applications for postdoctoral fellowships in experimental cancer biology, , and functional genetics/epigenetics starting immediately. Using state-of-the-art gene-editing and functional genomics/proteomics techniques, we seek to identify genetic and epigenetic biomarkers for human cancer precision medicine, synthetic lethal and resistance mechanisms underlying disease development and signal transduction at the systems level. The postdoctoral research will be performed in a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative environment with world-class experts and advanced technologies and facilities, which provide unique and ideal career development opportunities for postdocs. Successful candidates will be supervised by Dr. Nidhi Sahni, a faculty member and recognized leader in cancer genetics and systems biology at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Dr. Sahni has received numerous prestigious awards and strong funding support, including AACR NextGen Star, Sloan Scholar Award, CPRIT Scholar Award, NIH Outstanding Investigator Award (MIRA), DoD grant, Pinnacle Research Award, Rising STARs Award, among others. Recent representative publications include Cancer Cell (2020), 37: 371-86; Cell (2015), 161: 647-60; NatureRev Genet (2017), 18: 395-410; Cancer Cell (2018), 33: 450-462; Cell (2015), 161: 661-73; Cell (2017), 168: 856-66; Nature Commun. (2018), 9: 1317. For more information, please visit https://faculty.mdanderson.org/profiles/nidhi_sahni.html
MD Anderson is ranked No. 1 cancer center in the world and has the most awarded research grants from National Cancer Institute. MD Anderson Science Park is located near Austin, the capital of the State of Texas, and offers excellent cancer research programs and state-of-the-art sequencing and other core facilities. M.D. Anderson also offers outstanding benefits.
Requirements:
Applicants should have a recent Ph.D. degree (or equivalent) in molecular biology, cancer biology, genetics/epigenetics, immunology, or relevant fields. We are interested in passionate and self-motivated candidates who ask fundamentally important questions and are bold in taking innovative approaches. Candidates should have previous expertise with tissue culture. Experience with high-throughput biology, CRISPR screens and next-generation sequencing is a plus.
Application process:
Interested applicants should send a cover letter describing your past research experience, a curriculum vitae, and the contact information of three references to Dr. Nidhi Sahni (nsahni@mdanderson.org) with the subject line “Postdoc Application in Cancer Biology, CRISPR, and Epigenetics”.
