美国加州大学医学院2023年招聘博士后职位（乳腺癌的表观遗传/转录基因调控）

加利福尼亚大学（University of California），简称加州大学（UC），是美国加利福尼亚州拥有十所校区的大学系统。

加州大学起源于1853年建立在奥克兰的加利福尼亚学院（College of California），1868年3月正式更名为“加州大学”。1873年，学校迁入新址，为了纪念18世纪哲学家乔治・贝克莱，新的大学城被命名为“伯克利市”，此后逐渐在洛杉矶等地开设分校区。1952年起，“加州大学”作为一个行政系统逐渐与伯克利加州大学分离。与此同时，加州各地的分校也逐渐升格为与伯克利平级的校区。

Postdoc Fellow/Research Scientist Studying Epigenetic/Transcriptional Gene Regulation in Breast Cancer

UC College of Medicine

Job Description

Supported by our NCI R01 grants, Zhang Lab at the Department of Cancer Biology at the University of Cincinnati (https://med.uc.edu/zhanglab) has openings for Research Scientist and Postdoctoral Fellow to study transcriptional and epigenetic gene regulation in breast cancer metastasis and therapeutic resistance. The Zhang laboratory currently focuses on elucidating the role and molecular mechanisms of gene- and tissue-specific transcriptional cofactors, small RNAs (e.g. miRNA, enhancer RNA), and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) in these processes in breast cancer cells and tumor immune microenvironment [Estrogen Receptor and Breast Cancer Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the Discovery of ER (1st ed, 2019, Springer Nature), Dev Cell (2021)56(3):341, Cell Reports (2021) 34(10):108822, Cancer Drug Resist 2022; 5(2): 498, Autophagy (2023) 19(6):1662]. We are using a combination of biochemical, molecular, multi-omics, and mouse genetic (conditional knockout, mutant knockin, and overexpression) approaches. We are also currently developing our patented RNA nanotherapeutics (https://rnanano.com) to target these cofactors and small RNAs to overcome the therapeutic resistance of human breast cancer.

Interested candidates must have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree with research experience in biochemistry, molecular or cellular biology. Prior experience with small RNAs, genomics, LLPS, or animal studies is a plus. Salary is competitive with an attractive benefits package that includes family health insurance, retirement contributions, etc. Please submit a CV and list of contact information for three references to:
