Molecular & Human Genetics; Instructor

Molecular & Human Genetics (Instructor)

An Instructor position is available at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, USA, for an outstanding and highly motivated candidate to investigate Mitochondria-Nuclear Crosstalk and Cancer Metabolism. The lab is particularly interested in dissecting the metabolic reprogramming and signaling pathways involved in mitochondria-nuclear crosstalk and tumor metastasis. Candidates will have the opportunity to conduct both basic science and translational research in a fast-paced research environment.

The position requires the ability to lead projects, mentor junior team members, and work cooperatively with collaborators.

• Plans, directs, and conducts research experiments on mitochondrial-nuclear crosstalk in cancer progression.
• Generate preliminary data, write grants, and apply for independent funding opportunities.
• Mentor junior postdocs, graduate students, and summer trainees.
• Evaluate and analyze data from lab experiments and from other high-throughput analyses.
• Perform computational biology to develop models for metabolic interactions.
• Develops new research projects that can understand the role of metabolic reprogramming in cancer progression.
• Actively participate in team science and collaboration projects.
• Appropriately document experimental results and reports to the principal investigator.
• Actively participate in the scientific talks and other career development programs offered by BCM and neighboring institutes.
• Performs other job-related duties as assigned.

The candidate must be self-motivated and have at least 4 years of postdoc experience with molecular biology, computational biology, and in vivo tumor models. Strong preference will be given to candidates with prior experience in mitochondrial biology and mathematical modeling. Baylor College of Medicine is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action/Equal Access Employer. Requisition
