SUMMARY:Postdoctoral Scholar
DESCRIPTION:kentTwo Postdoctoral or Visiting Scholar positions are available to (1) study the mechanism of breast cancer metastasis and develop novel therapeutic strategies for treating metastatic breast cancer; and (2) investigate the epigenetic mechanisms of chemical carcinogenesis. These projects will use cell culture and mouse models to investigate the epigenetic mechanisms (DNA methylation\, histone posttranslational modifications and non-coding RNAs) of breast cancer metastasis and chemical carcinogenesis. Candidates should have a recent Ph.D. degree with strong background in cell/molecular biology and cancer biology. Experiences in studies on cancer epigenetics\, non-coding RNAs\, and cancer stem cells with skills in handling mice\, producing tumors in mice and treating mice with commonly-used drug administration approaches would be advantageous. The expected qualifications of candidates include: be highly self-motivated with strong interest in learning new knowledge and techniques; have excellent communication and organizational skills and attention to details\, be capable of conceptualizing\, designing experiments and conducting studies independently as well as cooperatively with other lab members as a team; and have the capability to write manuscripts for quality publications. Compensations including salary and benefits will be highly competitive depending upon candidates’ qualifications. Interested applicants\, please send a cover letter describing your research training experience\, a brief statement of your research interest\, scientific achievements and future career goal\, curriculum vitae (CV) and contact information (names\, e-mails\, and telephone numbers) of three references to: Dr. Zhishan Wang (zhishan.wang@uky.edu) or Dr. Chengfeng Yang (chengfeng.yang@uky.edu)\, Department of Toxicology and Cancer Biology\, University of Kentucky\, Lexington\, KY 40536. Only short-listed applicants will be contacted for interview. \n\nRequired Documents: Curriculum Vita\, Cover Letter\, Writing Sample\, Academic Transcripts\, for Specific Request 1\, please supply a copy of your PhD diploma & English translation if not in English\, and for Specific Request 2\, please submit a written document of your future career goals. \n\n\n\nSkills / Knowledge / Abilities\n\nExperiences in studies on cancer epigenetics\, non-coding RNAs\, and cancer stem cells with skills in handling mice\, producing tumors in mice and treating mice with commonly-used drug administration approaches would be advantageous.
