We are currently accepting applications for a Molecular Biology Postdoctoral Fellow*
We are always on the lookout for highly motivated, talented individuals. If you are interested in joining our team, please contact Nick at Nicholas.Larocque@ucsf.edu, and include a copy of your current resume/CV. We look forward to hearing from you.
Postdoctoral Fellows
Our lab provides opportunities for postdocs to conduct world-class research in an exciting, diverse, and often interdisciplinary environment. We have current openings for postdoctoral fellows in Molecular and Computational Biology.
Molecular Biology Postdoc
Highly motivated individuals with strong backgrounds in molecular biology are being recruited. Potential projects include the identification and characterization of genes involved in cancer pathogenesis, the development of targeting strategies for novel kinases implicated in cancer progression, and the investigation of novel therapeutic combinations. Techniques range from CRISPR and small molecule screening to standard molecular and cell biology approaches, to in vivo mouse modeling. The Feng lab uses prostate cancer as a model system for experimental design aimed at increasing our understanding of the biology of cancer and to accelerate the development of new therapies for prostate cancer.
Computational Biology Postdoc
Highly motivated individuals with a Ph.D. degree in a relevant field (e.g. Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Biostatistics, Molecular Biology, or Genetics). Individuals should have a strong background in bioinformatics, genetics, and statistics. Proficiency in programming language, such as R or Python, and prior experience analyzing genome sequence data are essential. Sound knowledge and a publication track record in cancer genomics are desired assets. This position involves substantial collaboration with wet-lab collaborators, providing data, and is focused on increasing our understanding of the biology of cancer to accelerate the development of new therapies for prostate cancer.
Junior or Assistant Research Specialist
The Feng Laboratory is always seeking to recruit outstanding candidates to join the lab at the Junior or Assistant Specialist position.
Research in the Feng Lab focuses on (1) identifying molecular drivers of prostate cancer pathogenesis, (2) understanding the mechanisms that contribute to disease progression and metastasis, and (3) developing novel therapeutic strategies. Our lab utilizes cancer genomics, cell biology, CRISPR and small molecule screens, and mouse modeling approaches to answer fundamental questions underlying prostate cancer biology, with the goal of translating discoveries from the lab into the clinic. We work collaboratively with basic scientists, computational biologists, pathologists, and oncologists at the UCSF Helen Diller Cancer Center. Please refer to fenglaboratory.com for additional details.
The role of the Junior or Assistant Specialist is to both assist with ongoing experiments and, depending on the candidate’s skill level, conduct independent research under the guidance of Dr. Feng and other members of the Feng Lab. The Specialist will learn and utilize a variety of research techniques and have opportunities to be a co-author on publications.
