美国北卡罗莱纳大学招聘癌症转移方向博士后

One postdoctoral position is available in a cancer research lab located within the University of North Carolina Lineberger Cancer Center. The Pecot lab integrates use of bioinformatics, novel metastases models and implementing therapeutic RNA-interference (RNAi) with nanotechnology to target metastatic biology. One project will define how the immune microenvironment regulates lung squamous cancer metastases. Another project will focus on how miRNAs in lung squamous carcinomas regulate lymph node metastases. Our laboratory is funded by the American Cancer Society, University Cancer Research Fund Innovator Award, Jimmy V Scholar Foundation, North Carolina Lung Cancer Initiative and the NCI Cancer Center of Nanotechnology Excellence.

The Pecot lab is looking for eager, self-motivated scientists with excellent writing skills. Candidates with a strong background in miRNA biology, tumor immunology, angiogenesis, tissue culture, RNA and protein techniques, and metastatic modeling are highly desired. The applicant must be comfortable working with laboratory mice, with a few years experience of handling mice preferred. Please use the UNC link to submit your full application, however feel free to send me your CV by email in the meantime.

The Lineberger Cancer Center is an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center and has one of the only centers of cancer nanotechnology excellence, thus providing a strong post-doctoral training opportunity in cancer biology and drug-development.
