Job Description

🔬 Ya-Ming Hou Laboratory

Our lab is located at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA (Sidney Kimmel Medical College) . We are seeking motivated candidates for a Postdoctoral Research Position in tRNA Modifications in Oncogenesis and in Neurodegeneration

📌 Job Description

We seek candidates with a fresh PhD to apply bioinformatics skills to decode tRNA modifications in cancers and in neurodegeneration diseases. This candidate should have strong bioinformatics skills and also basic molecular biology skills or willing to learn these skills, which will make bioinformatics skills more competitive. Notably, tRNA modifications are the frontier in the central dogma of genetic information transfer from DNA to RNA to protein, where tRNAs are the adaptors and the modifications in tRNAs control the adaptor activity.

Our position is NIH-funded at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, USA, which offers intellectual growth and the potential for long-term stability.

  • Willing to learn basic skills of molecular biology - RNA extraction and gel analysis to put bioinformatics analysis in a larger biological context
  • Knowledge of RNA biology and interest in RNA epigenetic modifications (preferred or willing to learn)
  • Ability to work in a multidisciplinary research environment
  • Strong communication and writing skills
