Full Job Description

Postdoctoral Researcher

Summary

A postdoctoral position is available in the Chaluvally Lab, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The laboratory investigates the role of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in tumor progression and the tumor microenvironment using advanced molecular, cellular, and animal models, with a primary focus on ovarian and breast cancers.

Current research also emphasizes the development of RNA interference (RNAi)-based therapeutic strategies, including the design and optimization of siRNA formulations, lipid- or nanoparticle-based delivery systems for targeted gene silencing and proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) linked with RNA (RNA-PROTAC). Please read the related publications from our lab to know more about the background of proposed research (Nature Communications, 2026, PMID: 41932914; Advanced Sciences, 2022, PMID: 35289120; and Cell Reports, 2021, PMID: 34731628).

The successful candidate will design and conduct experiments in both cell culture and animal models, develop and characterize siRNA-loaded nanoliposome formulations, and perform in vivo studies to evaluate biodistribution, target gene knockdown, therapeutic efficacy, and the translational potential of RNAi-based therapeutics for cancer treatment. Familiarity with protein structure and structure-function relationships will be considered an advantage for this position.

Primary Responsibilities

Plan, design and execute complex research studies, procedures and protocols.
Participate in discovery projects.
Knowledge on characterizing the role of RNA binding protiens on immune infiltrations in women’s cancer
Experience with cell biology and molecular biology methods (i.e., FACS, western blotting, RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis, Quantitative PCR)
Isolation of immune infiltrates from tumor tissues
Knowledge of basic methods such as tissue culture, transfections, western blotting, immunofluorescence and quantitative real-time PCR are required
Capable of independent thinking, able to learn new techniques and have good presentation skills
Experience in mouse experiments is required
Coordinate research study activities; lead and manage projects.
Oversee organization, synthesis and analysis of data and findings.
Prepare scientific reports, outcome findings and scientific manuscripts.
Participate in meetings with principle investigator and research staff in which you will evaluate/interpret the validity of data, develop methodologies, and design and evaluate lab procedures.

Knowledge – Skills – Abilities

· Ph.D. in Cancer Biology, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.

· Strong background in molecular and cellular biology techniques, including RNA biology, gene expression analysis, gene silencing, and CRISPR-based approaches.

· Experience with mammalian cell culture, transfection, and functional assays to investigate cancer cell behavior and therapeutic responses.

· Demonstrated expertise in in vivo mouse models of cancer, including tumor implantation, therapeutic administration, tissue collection, and animal handling.

· Hands-on experience in the design, formulation, and characterization of lipid- or nanoparticle-based nucleic acid delivery systems is highly desirable.

· Knowledge of RNA interference (RNAi), siRNA therapeutics, oligonucleotide chemistry, or other RNA-based therapeutic platforms, with an interest in translational cancer research.

· Experience with biochemical and molecular techniques such as Western blotting, qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, ELISA, and confocal microscopy.

· Ability to independently design experiments, analyze and interpret complex datasets, troubleshoot technical challenges, and effectively communicate scientific findings through publications and presentations.

· Familiarity with protein structure, structure–function relationships, molecular modeling, or targeted protein degradation technologies (e.g., PROTACs) will be considered an asset.

· Excellent organizational, interpersonal, and collaborative skills, with a demonstrated ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary and highly collaborative research environment.

Qualifications

Minimum Required Education: PhD in a scientific field

Minimum Required Experience: Recent Ph.D. and not more than 2 years of post-doctoral experience
