Visiting Research Assistant Professor in RNA Biology and Functional Genomics

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Assistant Professor to join our team. This position is available immediately. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled. Our research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of RNA-mediated gene regulation and how dysregulation of gene expression contributes to cancer development and progression.

We combine cutting-edge experimental and computational approaches to investigate gene regulatory networks at molecular, cellular, and systems levels. Current research areas include:

• RNA expression regulation and its role in cancer biology
• Functional genomics and gene regulatory mechanisms
• High-throughput multi-omics approaches, including RNA-seq, CRISPR screening, single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics
• Integration of bioinformatics and genomic data analysis
• Development of RNA-based molecular biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis Duties Responsibilities lead and contribute to innovative research in RNA biology and functional genomics, with a focus on transcriptional regulation and disease mechanisms. designing and executing molecular, cellular, and genomics-based studies developing and applying advanced CRISPR and transcriptomic technologies integrating and analyzing multi-omics datasets disseminate research findings through high-impact publications and scientific presentations collaborate with interdisciplinary research teams pursue extramural funding opportunities contribute to the laboratory’s research, training, and mentoring activities. Perform other related duties and participate in special projects as assigned.
