We have an exciting postdoctoral position available in an NIH-funded project at the laboratory of Dr. Momen-Heravi at UCSF.Research Focus: In this position, you will delve into the molecular mechanisms controlling lncRNA and exosome function during cellular stress conditions and cancer progression. Your work will employ a wide range of cutting-edge techniques, including CRISPR screening, human cell culture, cloning, flow cytometry, protein assays, RNA sequencing (RNAseq), RNA interference (RNAi), single-cell analysis, and mouse models.Mentorship and Skill Development: We are committed to your growth as a scientist. Opportunities for learning and mentoring will be readily available to help you develop and refine these skills. Your mentorship will be tailored to your personal career goals, and you will have the chance to explore new techniques and concepts in a collaborative research environment.Location: The location for this position is at UCSF (San Francisco).Job Requirements : Ph.D. in a relevant field.Enthusiasm for research, innovation, and motivation to excel.Strong communication skills, both written and oral.Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary and collaborative team.How to Apply : Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr. Momen-Heravi ([email protected] ) to express their interest and inquire further about the position.Location : Greater Bay AreaPeninsulaCaliforniaUCSF - Momen-Heravi LabThe research program in the Heravi lab concentrates on cancer biology, immunology, and autoinflammatory conditions including periodontal disease, with a special interest in the complex interactions between the immune system, the tumor microenvironment, the local mucosal microenvironment, and autoimmunity. The goal is to identify actionable molecular targets and biomarkers for solid tumors and autoinflammatory conditions. Dr. Momen-Heravi's research employs a multidisciplinary approach that integrates population-based studies, translational research, and computational and experimental strategies to study cancer and periodontal disease, aiming to identify biomarkers and actionable molecular targets. #J-18808-Ljbffr
