Job Posting Title: Postdoctoral ResearcherPosition Type: Other AcademicDepartment: LSUAM VetMed - School of Comparative Biomedical Sciences (Alexander Murashov (00082114))Work Location: 2401 Veterinary MedicinePay Grade: Other AcademicJob Description:
A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Shang Su in the Department of Comparative Biomedical Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, Louisiana State University. The focus of this position is to study the molecular mechanisms of dormancy and metastases of prostate cancer cells in the bone microenvironment and to develop novel targeted approaches against the lethal bone metastases. Three major projects are available depending on interest: 1) Exploration of transcription factors that determine the cellular dormancy fate of disseminated prostate cancer cells. 2) Development of a novel loci-specific proteomic approach to reveal new transcription regulators of key driver genes in prostate cancer. 3) Development of peptide PROTAC degraders against undruggable target proteins in prostate cancer. Previous experience on cell culture, molecular cloning, and western blotting are required. Skills on CRISPR gene editing, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry/immunoprecipitation, mouse handling and injection, confocal microscopy, and basic bioinformatic analyses such as RNA-Seq analyses are highly desired. The Su Lab is seeking highly motivated, energetic, and passionate researchers to join the efforts to decipher the bone metastases and develop novel therapies for patients' benefits.Job Responsibilities:70% - Conduct research in the area of expertise including regular bench work on cell biology, molecular biology, and biochemistry as well as necessary animal procedures. Train other students and lab members on these techniques when necessary.20% - Publish research findings in decent SCI journals and present in internal/regional/national/international meetings. Participate in the writing of grants when eligible.5% - Contribute to the lab maintenance.5% - Other duties as assigned.Minimum Qualifications:Ph.D. or MD or equivalent in biomedical science and related fields and three (3) years of postdoctoral experience.Degree Substitute: Non U.S. degree with University approved credentials validation only.Specific Experience: A record of participation in research and peer-reviewed publications. Experiences in cell culture, molecular cloning, and western blotting are essential.Preferred Qualifications:Ph.D. and four (4) or more years of postdoctoral experience.Specific Experience: At least 1 first-authored research article in cancer biology field. Experience with any of the desired advanced techniques listed above are of great benefit.
