A Postdoctoral Position is available in the Department of Experimental Therapeutics, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, United States. This position reports to Dr. Rugang Zhang, Chair of the Department of Experimental Therapeutics.
We are seeking a talented and highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to perform hands-on experiments to develop novel mechanism-guided precision therapeutic strategies to address unmet clinical needs in cancer therapy, and to understand the role and mechanisms by which tumor responses to stress influences cancer development and response to cancer therapy by studying cellular response pathways.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will conduct experiments, perform data analysis and prepare manuscripts in addition to attending lab meetings, journal clubs, and research seminars. The Postdoctoral Fellow's primary research focus is to help the PI merge mechanistic insights with the translational objectives of experimental therapeutics and the accompanying stratifications of genetic biomarkers to address unmet clinical needs in cancer therapy. The Postdoctoral Fellow will train, learn and study design, data analysis and manuscript writing.
All duties and responsibilities are carried out in compliance with institutional policies, ethical research standards, and applicable federal and state regulations.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of the appointment, the postdoc will learn how to independently develop and execute a project that addresses clinical challenge or knowledge gaps in the field. The postdoc will also learn to independently conduct data analysis that drives hypothesis and experimental design.
