Summary
The Martínez Zamudio Lab is seeking a motivated postdoctoral researcher to study the gene regulatory networks that drive senescence-associated transitions during the early stages of cancer development and therapeutic resistance. This role focuses on understanding how these mechanisms can be manipulated to develop more effective cancer therapies.
Postdoctoral Research Position: Epigenomics of Senescence Transitions, Martínez Zamudio Lab, USA
Position Overview
| Feature | Details |
| Designation | Postdoctoral Research Researcher |
| Research Area | Epigenomics, Cancer Development, Senescence Transitions |
| Location | Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Piscataway, NJ |
| Principal Investigator | Ricardo I. Martinez Zamudio |
Research Area: Investigating transcription factor networks and epigenetic mechanisms to regulate cellular senescence in cancer development and aging.
Job Description
The successful candidate will work on cutting-edge projects involving:
- Oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) and therapy-induced senescence (TIS): Investigating transitions using primary human mammary epithelial cells and breast cancer cell culture models.
- 3D Model Systems: Developing a colonic organoid model to study escape from OIS.
- Validation: Confirming key findings using relevant mouse models.
Eligibility & Qualifications
- Recent PhD graduate or early-stage postdoctoral researcher.
- Strong background in epigenomics and molecular biology.
- Hands-on experience in the computational analysis of high-throughput sequencing data (e.g., RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, CUT&Tag).
- Genuine interest in understanding and manipulating gene regulatory networks in cancer.
