Job Description
The Khurshid Lab is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join their research team. The successful candidate will conduct independent scientific research focused on understanding alternative splicing in cancer and its modulation by the tumor microenvironment. This position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research with implications for therapy-resistant and metastatic tumors.
Key Responsibilities:
• Design and execute independent laboratory experiments, including complex molecular and cellular assays as well as 3D cell culture models to investigate the role of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and alternative splicing in tumor progression.
• Analyze experimental data, interpret results, and draw meaningful conclusions to advance project goals.
• Develop and optimize research methodologies and experimental approaches.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and contribute to ongoing projects.
• Prepare and publish research findings in high-impact peer-reviewed journals.
• Present research at scientific conferences, seminars, and lab meetings.
• Assist in grant writing and contribute to securing research funding.
Qualifications & Skills:
• Ph.D. in Cancer Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field.
• Strong background in RNA biology/ alternative splicing, and/ or tumor microenvironment is preferred.
• Hands-on experience with molecular biology techniques. Experience in techniques such as gene editing (e.g., CRISPR) & 3D cell culture models is preferred.
• Proven track record of scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Application:
Please submit cover letter, CV, and contact information for 2-3 references combined into one PDF file by e-mail to: [email protected]
