Postdoc position
Postdoctoral Scientist - Mendell Lab
Howard Hughes Medical Institute - Mendell Lab at UT Southwestern Medical Center
About
Investigate post-transcriptional gene regulation in the Mendell RNA biology laboratory. Projects include discovering new functions of noncoding RNAs, regulation of microRNA activity in health and disease, mechanistic and structural dissection of noncoding RNA function, and control of mRNA translation and stability, using high-throughput screens, animal models and structural approaches.
Requirements
PhD in biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, structural biology, developmental biology, cancer biology or a related discipline, with less than two years of prior postdoctoral experience. A resilient approach to research, commitment to research integrity and willingness to mentor and engage in lab and departmental activities.
