Job Description
Postdoctoral position in immunotherapy, metabolic diseases and liver cancer
Required/Preferred Qualifications:
Ph.D.; or MD required
Required qualifications: Less than three years of post-graduate research
experience in the fields of liver cancer, immunology, metabolic diseases,
microRNA, and RNA drug delivery
At least one first-author publication in a top-tier journal.
Skills in molecular biology, cellular biology, basic bioinformatics, and
mouse models required, which includes DNA and RNA isolation, western blot,
northern blot, southern blot, real-time RT-PCR, luciferase assay,
florescence microscopy, immunostaining, mouse mating, small animal surgery,
hepatocyte isolation, primer design etc.
Strong motivation and fast learning ability are required.
Duties/Responsibilities:
Responsibilities include participating in the design, implementation and
evaluation of collaborative research studies; analyzing and interpreting
data; creating publication quality figures summarizing data; assisting with
manuscript and grant preparation; maintaining a legible and self-explanatory
scientific notebook, and presenting results during lab meetings and at
appropriate scientific conferences. Above all, your major duties will be to
conduct bench research as deemed necessary and appropriate by Dr. Song and
to assist and/or collaborate with other research staff on scientific
pursuits of mutual interests.
Research Direction, Working Environment and Benefits
The PI’s lab mainly focus on the basic and translational research of liver
cancer and metabolic diseases. In addition to basic research, we have made
groundbreaking progress in developing miRNA-based immunotherapeutic
approaches for liver cancer and NAFLD/NASH. The purpose of the lab is to
educate the next generation of research scientists. In addition to teaching
basic experimental techniques, PI is eager to culture the ability of
postdoctoral fellows and graduates to write manuscripts, apply for grants,
and strongly commit this education.
All the projects that the postdoctoral fellows will focus on are well
developed. The key phenotypic experiments have been done. The potential to
publish in high tier journals is high.
Minneapolis is a quiet, beautiful and safe place to live. The living cost is
low.
The promotion chance for postdoctoral fellows with solid publications is
high in the Department of Medicine at the University of Minnesota. The PI is
committed to provide as much as help and strong recommendation.
Program/Unit Description:
The Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition is in the
Department of Medicine within the Medical School at the University of
Minnesota. The Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition
provides an array of clinical services, educational programs, and active
clinical and basic science research activities. In addition to the faculty
who are part of Division at the University campus, there are also University
faculty who participate in GI research and training activities at the
Minneapolis VA Health Care System, Hennepin County Medical Center, Abbott
Northwestern Hospital, and Regions Hospital.
The Division plays a leading and integral role in hepatology and liver
transplantation, hosting one of the longest standing liver transplant
programs in the United States. The Division is home to a nationally-
recognized division for ERCP, EUS, and management of complex pancreas/
biliary disorders. Historically, the Division has made a number of seminal
contributions in the fields of hepatology and nutrition, and generates
important knowledge in our understanding of liver metabolism. More recently,
the Division has contributed to the understanding of the role of
pancreaticobiliary endoscopy in the management of a number of clinical
conditions, including malignant hilar biliary obstruction, complications of
ERCP, endoscopic therapy of pancreatic diseases, and of sphincter of Oddi
dysfunction.
The Division continues to maintain highest ambitions for excellence in all
three of its major missions: patient services, teaching, and research.
