密歇根州立大学博士后职位–生物化学、分子细胞生物学、遗传学或发育生物学的研究

Job Description

An NIH funded postdoc position is available at Michigan State University. The Chen lab studies the biology of small noncoding RNAs in development and diseases using molecular, biochemical, genomic and proteomic approaches as well as CRISPR/Cas9 knockout mouse models. Current projects focus on the piRNA pathway in genome regulation and germline development. Related publications: Ding D et al. Nucleic Acids Research 2020; Sun YH et al, Nature Cell Biology 2020; Ding D et al. Nature Communications 2018; Ding D et al. Nature Communications 2017). http://www.canr.msu.edu/people/chen_chen

The Chen laboratory is located in a new cutting-edge research building with outstanding research environment and support (https://vp.research.msu.edu/news/new-research-building-opens). The funded projects will investigate the mechanism and functional significance of small RNA pathway in gene silencing and regulation. Proposed studies will investigate protein-RNA and protein-protein interactions and macromolecular complex formation of small RNA biogenesis machinery in cells and animal models. The projects have important implications in understanding the onset of human diseases.

The successful candidate should hold a recent Ph.D. in biological sciences with a research background in biochemistry, molecular cell biology, genetics or developmental biology. Preference will be given to applicants with strong research experience in one of the areas in RNA biology, protein-RNA interactions, protein chemistry and structural biology, molecular and cell biology, mouse genetics, male and female germ cell biology.
