Job Overview
Northwestern University's Department of Pathology seeks a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join the Zhang Lab at the Lurie Cancer Center.
The position centers on cutting-edge research in epigenetics, stem cell biology, and multi-omics applied to the field of blood cancers.
The researcher will conduct independent and collaborative research within the project scope, including the design, execution, and analysis of experiments.
Duties include preparing manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals and presenting research findings at national and international conferences.
The fellow will assist in mentoring graduate and undergraduate students, contributing to the academic growth of the lab.
Collaboration with interdisciplinary teams both within the university and with external partners is a core expectation, as is assisting with grant proposal writing.
A PhD in cancer biology, epigenetics, immunology, or a related discipline is required, along with strong work ethics and a positive attitude.
Candidates need demonstrated experience in animal work, cell biology, molecular biology, and epigenetics, including gene-expression analysis, CRISPR/Cas9, epigenetic profiling, and next-generation sequencing.
Proficiency in animal work, cell culture, CRISPR, molecular cloning, flow cytometry, bioinformatics, and statistical analysis is expected, alongside a strong peer-reviewed publication record and excellent written and oral communication skills.
Apply electronically as a single PDF file containing a cover letter, CV with full publication list, a research statement of up to two pages, and contact information for referees, to Christine.zhang@northwestern.edu.
