University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
Postdoctoral Fellow - Translational Molecular Pathology (Chen Lab)
University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, United States, 77246
The current program aims to recruit and train a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Yang Chen at the Department of Translational Molecular Pathology, MD Anderson Cancer Center. This program focuses on investigating the tumor microenvironment of pancreatic cancer by integrating computational biology (utilizing single-cell genomics) and experimental biology (using novel transgenic mouse models). The recruited postdoctoral fellow of this program will learn the techniques of both computational biology (utilizing single-cell genomics) and experimental biology (using novel transgenic mouse models) under the supervision of Dr. Yang Chen. The recruited postdoctoral fellow will also learn other common techniques of cell biology, molecular biology, pathology, and immunology, to complete a variety of research projects and publications.
LEARNING OBJECTIVESBy combining both functional and computational studies, this program aims to train the recruited postdoctoral fellow to systemically conduct multiple research projects, which may identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets at the interface of single-cell genomics, tumor microenvironment, and tumor immunology to translate our discoveries into early diagnosis and therapeutic options for pancreatic cancer patients. The goal of this training and learning program is to establish the experimental skills and other research related skills of the trainee. After the learning and training program, the trainee is expected to be ready for conducting independent research projects.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTSAn individual holding a recent Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate (e.g., Sc.D., M.D., D.V.M.) in an appropriate field who is seeking a temporary appointment, under the supervision of a faculty mentor, involving full-time laboratory-based research or scholarship in preparation for an academic or research career as an independent investigator. This appointment is not part of a clinical training program; individuals holding an M.D. degree or equivalent are not permitted to engage in patient care activity.
ADDITIONAL APPLICATION INFORMATIONIntended start date is October 1, 2024. Intended duration of appointment is one year with annual renewal afterwards for an overall duration of 3-5 years.
POSITION INFORMATIONMD Anderson offers full-time postdoc positions with a
salary ranging from $64,000 to $76,000 . depending on the number of years of postgraduate experience. MD Anderson trainee compensation also includes:
Paid medical benefits (zero premium) starting on the first day for trainees who work 30 or more hours per weekGroup dental, vision, life, AD&D, and disability coveragePaid education, vacation, and sick leavePaid institutional holidays, wellness leave, childcare leave, and other paid leave programsTeachers Retirement System defined-benefit pension plan and two voluntary retirement plansEmployer-paid life, AD&D, and an illness-related reduced salary pay programHealth Savings Account and Dependent Care Reimbursement flexible spending accountsFertility benefitsState of Texas longevity payExtensive wellness, fitness, employee health programs, and employee resource groups
