[徵才] Postdoc position at UPitt Medicine
Postdoctoral positions in single-cell analysis for cancer precision medicine
are available in the laboratory of Dr. Yu-Chih Chen
(https://www.ycchenlab.org/) at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Hillman
Cancer Center.
Description: Our lab focuses on high-throughput single-cell analysis, next
generation sequencing (NGS), and machine learning for cancer precision
medicine. Due to genomic and epigenetic instability of cancer cells,
inter-patient and intra-patient heterogeneity in tumors creates formidable
challenges in identifying optimal treatments. To address the challenges, we
aim to establish comprehensive high-throughput multi-omics single-cell
analysis including genome, epigenome, transcriptome, proteome, functional,
and morphological methods. With large amounts of data collected from
high-throughput single-cell multi-omics analysis, machine learning techniques
can predict patient prognosis and suggest treatments for precision medicine.
The integrated approach will change how we understand and treat cancer and
ultimately improve outcomes for patients. The successful applicant will
establish and perform high-throughput single-cell analysis and analyze the
data using machine learning approaches.
Qualifications: Applicants are required to have an MD or a PhD degree in cell
biology, molecular biology, computational biology, or a related field,
obtained within the past five years. Experience and skills with cellular and molecular biology techniques are
required. Experimental skills related to single-cell analysis, microfluidics,
and computation would be an advantage. The successful applicant is expected
to be a team player, but also to work independently, and to have strong
verbal and written English communication skills. Salary is commensurate with
experience and based on current NIH guidelines. Additionally, the candidate
may be eligible for a Hillman Postdoctoral Fellowship for Innovative Cancer
Research
(https://hillmanresearch.upmc.edu/research/hillman-fellows/postdoctoral/).
The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine is ranked #14 in Best Medical
Schools according to U.S. News 2020 ranking, and Pittsburgh has been
consistently voted as one of the top livable cities in the US.
To apply for a position, please send your curriculum vitae, a one-page
summary of your research interests, and three reference contacts to
cheny25@upmc.edu. Applications will be reviewed and evaluated on an ongoing
basis, following the receipt of all required materials. The University of
Pittsburgh is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer.
