Summary

The Jiang Lab in the Department of Molecular Oncology is recruiting a Cancer Biology Postdoctoral Fellow. Research in our lab sits at the interface of redox biology, metabolism, and signaling, with a focus on understanding how antioxidant systems regulate oxidative stress responses and cancer therapy resistance. We combine molecular biology, functional genomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and in vivo models to address these questions.

• A unique translational research environment that integrates outstanding patient care with cutting-edge clinical and basic research.
• Outstanding mentorship from expert faculty with wide-ranging, funded research programs.
• Strong encouragement and support for postdoctoral fellows to apply for fellowships, training grants, and career development awards.

• Is highly motivated to address fundamental questions in cancer biology, cancer metabolism, and redox biology.
• Has a strong background in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, signal transduction, redox biology, metabolism, or cancer immunology.
• Has experience with mouse models or a strong interest in developing in vivo research skills.
• Works well as part of a team and communicates clearly and professionally.

• Lead and drive independent research projects under the guidance of the PI.
• Communicate regularly with the PI regarding research progress, experimental plans, and data interpretation.
• Collaborate with lab members, including technicians, students, and other postdoctoral fellows.
• Present research findings at conferences and publish results in peer‑reviewed journals.

• Ph.D. in molecular biology, cell biology, cancer biology, biochemistry, or a related field is required.
• Strong work ethic and motivation to lead and drive projects independently.
• Excellent communication, organizational, and problem‑solving skills.
