Postdoctoral Position in Molecular Biology: A Postdoctoral Fellow position is available in the laboratory of Ranjan J. Perera at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital. The lab focuses on investigating regulatory non-coding RNAs and their role in tumor formation using advanced genomic, biochemical, and functional genomic approaches. The project integrates in-vitro and in-vivo studies, analytical genomics, and single-cell sequencing to understand how non-coding RNAs influence cancer metabolism and the epigenome.
