πŸ“ University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Department of Cancer Biology – Cincinnati, OH
πŸ•“ Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
πŸ”— Zhang Lab Website

The Zhang Lab, supported by multiple NCI R01 grants, is recruiting Postdoctoral Fellows and Research Scientists to join groundbreaking research on transcriptional and epigenetic gene regulation in breast cancer metastasis and therapeutic resistance.

This is a unique opportunity to work in a dynamic, well-funded lab with a focus on gene-specific transcriptional cofactors, small RNAs, and liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS)β€”all with real translational impact.

πŸ”¬ Current Research Focus

  • Transcriptional cofactors and chromatin modifiers

  • Epigenetic mechanisms of endocrine resistance in breast cancer

  • RNA-based therapeutics and targeted delivery systems

  • Small RNAs, LLPS, and tumor microenvironment

  • Preclinical modeling with CRISPR/Cas, knock-in/knockout mouse models, and nanotherapeutic delivery

Recent publications include:

  • Dev Cell (2021) 56(3):341

  • Cell Reports (2021) 34(10):108822

  • Autophagy (2023) 19(6):1662

  • Cancers (2024) 16(23):3992

πŸ’‘ Why Join Us?

  • State-of-the-art research in cancer genomics, small RNA biology, and LLPS

  • Direct connection to RNA-based therapeutics startup: rnanano.com

  • Competitive salary with full family health coverage, retirement benefits, and career development opportunities

  • Collaborative, innovation-driven culture within a top-tier public research university

  • Live and work in Cincinnatiβ€”a vibrant, affordable, and highly livable U.S. city

πŸŽ“ Qualifications

  • PhD and/or MD in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Cell Biology, or a related field

  • Strong background in molecular or cellular biology techniques

  • Preferred experience with genomics, small RNAs, LLPS, or in vivo models

  • Proven track record of completing complex research projects

  • Strong communication and collaborative skills
