Job Type:
FullTime
A senior postdoctoral fellow/Lab manager position is open immediately in Dr. Ranjan J. Perera’s laboratory at the Department of Oncology and Neurosurgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Center for RNA Biology, Cancer & Blood Disorders Institute, Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, in St. Petersburg, FL. The Perera laboratory employs a combination of biochemical, genetic, genomic, and functional genomic approaches to study the biogenesis mechanism of regulatory non-coding RNAs and elucidate their roles in tumor formation, specifically medulloblastoma and melanoma. Several putative oncogenic and tumor suppressor non-coding and coding RNAs have been identified ( Lee et al. Science Advances 2017 3(5): e1602505, Katsushima et al. Neuro-Oncology 2021, Katsushima et al. doi.org/10.1093/neuonc/noaa235 , Katsushima et al. Cell Reports 2024. 43, 113938 doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2024.113938 ) and will characterize these through in-vitro and in-vivo functional and analytical genomics to connect them to cancer metabolism and epigenome.
Required Experience:
The Ph.D. and/or M.D. Cancer and Cell Biology candidates must have a strong background in at least one of the following areas: tumor biology, cell biology, molecular biology, and transcriptional/post-transcriptional gene regulation. Experience in vivo mouse studies is an advantage. Perera’s laboratory will be a part of the Center for RNA Biology in the new research institute at the Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital. These positions are open until suitable candidates are identified. Salary and fringe benefits will be very competitive with the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine guidelines. Interested candidates, please send CV and relevant publications to Dr. Ranjan J. Perera at jperera2jh
