• Summary

  We are looking to recruit a Postdoctoral Associate in Dr. Sang Jun Han’s lab. The primary focus of Dr. Han’s laboratory is to develop novel cell therapies to eradicate various types of cancer using genetically modified animal models and CRISPR/Cas9-engineered immune cells, while avoiding the adverse effects of current cancer treatments.

  The Postdoctoral Associate will conduct animal experiments using tissue-specific gene-deleted mouse models and analyze data through single-cell RNA sequencing and Cytometry by Time of Flight (CyTOF). The goal is to uncover novel insights into how genetically modified immune cells disrupt the tumor immune microenvironment, leading to cancer eradication.

  This project has the potential to yield groundbreaking discoveries, bridging critical gaps in our understanding of molecular cancer therapy and paving the way for new immune-based treatments that effectively target cancer without the adverse effects associated with current therapies.

  The postdoctoral associate is the primary individual responsible for conducting all experiments necessary to achieve the objectives of this project. Consequently, without a postdoctoral associate to oversee and prepare the experiments, progress on the project would be hindered. The outcomes of the research and the discoveries made will likely lead to additional funding opportunities.

  Job Duties

  • Plans, directs and conducts research experiments related to reproductive diseases.
  • Collects, analyzes, and documents experiment results.
  • Performs different cell and molecular biology studies using mice and primary cells.
  • Documents results of experiments and reports to the principal investigator.
  • Conducts literature searches and summarizes information for ongoing projects.
  • Works with other groups in the Molecular Cellular Biology Department and TMC at large on collaborative projects.

  Minimum Qualifications

  • MD or Ph.D. in Basic Science, Health Science, or a related field.
  • No experience required.

  Preferred Qualifications

  • A postdoctoral associate with a research background in immunology, molecular biology, and animal experience is required for this position. The role requires a Ph.D. or M.D.

  Baylor College of Medicine is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action/Equal Access Employer.
