| University of Michigan Medical School | Genetics of Cardiovascular disease and Hematology | Pediatrics and Human Genetics | Jordan Shavit | 02/01/2027 | NIH R35-funded postdoctoral position available in “clinically directed basic research” in the field of blood and cardiovascular disorders. We study the genetic mechanisms underlying major medical problems, including pathologic clotting (thrombosis), hemorrhage, heart attack, and stroke. Although we have an understanding of the major genes involved, we are often unable to predict an individual patient's risk with any useful degree of accuracy due to modifier genes. Knowledge of such modifier genes will improve diagnosis and classification of blood and coagulation disorders, identify potential targets for therapy, and further our understanding of the underlying biology of the blood and cardiovascular systems. We have developed multiple zebrafish models of human blood disorders (hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, platelet defects, thrombosis) through genome editing with zinc finger nucleases, TALENs, and CRISPR. Projects include dissection of extended coagulation factor pathways and thrombocyte (platelet) function in vivo, mechanistic studies of oral contraceptive and hormone-induced thrombosis, sensitized N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis followed by next generation sequencing for modifier gene identification, and high throughput small molecule screens to discover novel therapeutics. |

The postdoctoral research scholar is expected to produce first-author publications in peer-reviewed journals and to present research results at national and international scientific conferences. Work authorization sponsorship in J-1 status is available through the University of Iowa. REQUIREMENTS • PhD in physics, astrophysics, astronomy, or a closely related field by the position start date. Candidates who have completed all requirements but whose degree will officially conferred at a later date will still be considered. Applicants should have demonstrated experience in at least one of the following areas: • Development of fluid or kinetic plasma simulation codes. • Axion or dark photon phenomenology. • Astrophysical observation and data analysis. • Analytic plasma theory. • Compact object astrophysics. • Laboratory astrophysics experiments and/or theoretical modeling of such experiments. DESIRABLE QUALIFICATION • Experience spanning multiple areas listed above is preferred. |

| University of Chicago | Cancer Biology | Medicine | Yu-Ying He | 02/16/2027 | We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on cancer etiology and therapeutic resistance. Our research focuses on epigenetic and epitranscriptomic mechanisms of stress response and environmental carcinogenesis, as well as therapeutic resistance. In particular, our group focuses on the role of epitranscriptomics and epigenetics in regulating genomic integrity and cellular homeostasis and to investigate their impact on cancer development and therapeutic resistance. Our past and ongoing work has been focused on understanding the pathogenesis of skin cancer including squamous cancer and melanoma. Our long-term goal is to identify previously unrecognized, therapeutically accessible molecular regulatory networks that predict susceptibility to skin cancer, and improve our ability to prevent and treat these cancers. This project will screen and elucidate new epitranscriptomic and epigenetic mechanism of cancer development and therapeutic resistance. For details, please visit our lab’s website: https://he-lab.uchicago.edu. The postdoc will have the opportunity to work with several collaborators on campus and off campus and the core facilities at the University of Chicago comprehensive cancer center. Applicants must have a recent Ph.D. or equivalent degree in the biological sciences. Demonstrated expertise in molecular, cellular, and biochemical techniques, is preferred. Experience with mammalian cell culture, microscopy, immunoassays, molecular biology, animal models, and/or systems analysis of molecular interactions is desirable. Highly motivated individuals with excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively within a research team are encouraged to apply. |
