What are the responsibilities and job description for the Post-Doctoral Research Fellow - Chromatin Regulator and Immune Interaction in Blood Cancers, Lab of Jianping Li position at Jefferson Health?
Job Details
The laboratory of Dr. Jianping Li (jianpinglilab.com) at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center (SKCCC) at Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join our team on NIH/NCI-funded projects. Dr. Li’s lab focuses on the roles of chromatin regulators and immune interaction in blood cancers, especially in the initiation of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoma, relapse, chemotherapy resistance, and CNS infiltration. We explore mutant chromatin regulators-driven phenotype and molecular mechanisms using cell lines, conditional mouse models, patient-derived xenografts (PDXs), and cutting-edge technologies such as CUT&RUN, ChIP-Seq, single-cell RNA-Seq, ATAC-Seq, Hi-C, proteomics, drug screening, flow cytometry and sorting, and CRISPR editing and screening (Nature Communications 2017, Cancer Discovery 2022, and Nature Chemical Biology 2024).
Job Description
Eligibility Requirements: We are looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic postdoctoral fellows with a recent PhD or PhD/MD in molecular biology, T-cell immunology, cancer biology, or related fields. The candidate should have a strong interest in one of the following basic and translational research areas: chromatin regulation, cancer epigenetics, stem cell biology, immune interactions, CNS infiltration, and the development of targeted therapy. We expect you to join our energetic group, enjoy the joy of research, and receive excellent training and career development to become an independent scientist. Experience in molecular cloning, CRISPR editing and screening, multi-omics sequencing analysis, flow cytometry, and sorting will be preferred. Qualified candidates should send their curriculum vitae and contact information of three professional references to Dr. Jianping Li (Jianping.li@jefferson.edu).
Institute: Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center (SKCCC) at Jefferson is recognized as high performing in cancer care by U.S. News & World Report and is designated a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for excellence in cancer care, prevention, and research. The NCI-designated SKCCC at TJU is home to national thought leaders across multiple cancer research disciplines and multi-institutional collaborations, announcing the expansion and deepening of hematologic malignancy research with the Blood Cancer Center of Excellence (BCCE). Our faculty lead paradigm-shifting research into the initiation and progression of cancer, as well as resistance mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. Here, researchers collaborate across multiple departments and specialties to address some of the most complex challenges in healthcare.
