Seeking Postdoctoral Fellow to Elucidate Mechanisms of Ferroptosis
Seeking highly motivated candidates to perform mechanistic studies for the characterization of pathways involved in iron sensing and ferroptosis in cancer cells. PI Dr. Mei Koh’s lab at the University of Utah College of Pharmacy focuses on the identification of new therapeutic strategies that exploit the inflammatory and hypoxic tumor microenvironment within solid tumors. The funded project focuses on the role of Fe-S assembly proteins in driving kidney cancer and modulating sensitivity to ferroptosis.Candidates must possess a PhD degree in biology, biochemistry, molecular pharmacology or related field. Candidates should have high proficiency in iron metabolism and in general cell biology and molecular biology techniques including cell culture, molecular cloning, western blots, PCR, and cell viability/reporter assays. Experience in cancer cell signaling is desirable but not essential. Experience in animal handling/surgery is desirable but not essential. Candidates should be organized, able to work independently and as part of a team in a highly collaborative research environment. Fluency in English is required. Candidates should be eligible to work in the USA.Responsibilities include:Perform laboratory experiments, which may include cell culture, molecular cloning, western blotting, PCR, animal handling/surgery, and protein purification.Plan and execute experiments, perform data analysis, have ability to work independently and as part of a team.Present data in group meetings, and at local and international meetings.Contribute to general lab management including supervising lab technicians and students where necessary.Prepare manuscripts.If interested, please send resume, cover letter and the contact information of 3 references to mei.koh@utah.edu.
