Two Postdoctoral positions for Cancer Biology (one position) and Pluripotent Stem Cell Biology (one position) in Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center : New York, United States

One postdoc positions will focus on the embryonic factors involved in the extra-cellular signal transduction pathway to inhibit tumor initiation and progression directly by sequestering protein-protein interactions and indirectly boosting immune activation on multiple cancer models including melanoma, leukemia, and neuroblastoma.

The other postdoc position will focus on the stem cell factors that regulate epigenetics to control pluripotency and totipotency through controlling innate immunity, endogenous retrovirus activation, chromatin structure, and novel epigenetic markers.

No previous research experience on cancer or stem cell research is necessary.

Candidates should have a PhD or equivalent degree in the early stage of postdoc training.

If interested, please send CV and few sentence of description on the prior research experience and future research interest to StemCellResearchMSKCC(AT)gmail.com
