Postdoctoral Research Fellow – Cancer Biology

Job Title: Postdoctoral Research Fellow – Cancer Biology

Job Number: 130850

Location: HOuston,US

We invite highly motivated and career-oriented individuals to join our dynamic and collaborative research team. The research environment at MD Anderson Cancer Center offers exceptional support and numerous opportunities, particularly for those interested in cancer biology, cell biology, genetics, or molecular biology.

We currently have one open postdoctoral position.

The Park laboratory is committed to investigating the mechanisms of tumorigenesis and tissue regeneration, with a specific focus on WNT signaling and cell plasticity. Our research utilizes genetically engineered organoids, mouse models, patient samples, as well as single-cell and spatial transcriptomics. Candidates are expected to possess expertise in cancer biology, cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, developmental biology, or related fields.

For additional information, please refer to our website rk.org.

The successful candidates will have the opportunity to develop expertise in advanced techniques of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, genetically engineered organoids, and animal models. As postdoctoral fellows, they will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of researchers and broaden their knowledge. By the conclusion of the fellowship, candidates will have gained comprehensive skills in experimental design, data analysis, and scientific communication, thereby positioning themselves for a successful transition to independent scientists.

To date, six postdoctoral trainees from the Park laboratory have become tenure-track faculty members.

Applicants are required to possess a PhD (or be a PhD candidate) or an equivalent doctoral qualification. This opportunity aims to prepare individuals to become independent scientists in academia or industry.
