Are you an enthusiastic and motivated researcher interested in studying long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) biogenesis and exosome biogenesis in the context of cancer? We have an exciting postdoctoral position available in an NIH-funded project at the laboratory of Dr. Momen-Heravi at UCSF.
Research Focus: In this position, you will delve into the molecular mechanisms controlling lncRNA and exosome function during cellular stress conditions and cancer progression. Your work will employ a wide range of cutting-edge techniques, including CRISPR screening, human cell culture, cloning, flow cytometry, protein assays, RNA sequencing (RNAseq), RNA interference (RNAi), single-cell analysis, and mouse models.
Mentorship and Skill Development: We are committed to your growth as a scientist. Opportunities for learning and mentoring will be readily available to help you develop and refine these skills. Your mentorship will be tailored to your personal career goals, and you will have the chance to explore new techniques and concepts in a collaborative research environment.
Location: The location for this position is at UCSF (San Francisco).
Ph.D. in a relevant field.
Enthusiasm for research, innovation, and motivation to excel.
Strong communication skills, both written and oral.
Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary and collaborative team.
Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr. Momen-Heravi ([email protected]) to express their interest and inquire further about the position.
