Job Description
A postdoctoral position is available in Dr. Hai Dao's lab. The Dao laboratory at the Department of Chemical Biology and Therapeutics is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate to conduct research at the interface of chromatin biology, cancer epigenetics, and chemical biology. Our team is dedicated to understanding the intricate molecular networks that regulate epigenetic processes in human cancers. We develop novel chemical probes, engineered enzymes, and synthetic chromatin platforms to dissect and manipulate chromatin-templated processes. This position aims to understand the classic and elusive chromosomal species known as double minutes. Double minutes are extrachromosomal acentric chromatin bodies that are the hallmark of oncogenes in human cancers. Double minutes have a unique gene expression program and atypical chromosome segregation during mitosis; yet, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The goals are to elucidate the chromatin structure and associated factors of double minutes during interphase and metaphase to uncover the mechanisms underlying gene regulation and chromosome maintenance. Position Responsibilities: Your primary role as a postdoctoral researcher will be to develop independent research projects with the guidance of Dr. Hai Dao. You are expected to finish at least one project within three years. Additionally, you will have opportunities to get involved in collaborative projects, mentoring junior staffs and students. In addition to performing experiments, you will be expected to participate in writing your manuscripts and lab grants. As part of the career development plan, you are encouraged to participate in relevant conferences and training courses. Minimum Education and/or Training: Interested candidates should have a Ph.D. in chemical biology, biochemistry, or molecular biology. Preference will be given to applicants who have received their Ph.D. degrees within three years.
