Joint postdoctoral positions are available in the Chen (Department of Medicine) and He (Department of Chemistry) research groups at The University of Chicago. 

Dr. Jing Chen is a renowned expert in the area of cancer metabolism, in particular the signaling interplay between metabolic and cell signaling networks for cancer development and therapy (https://biologicalsciences.uchicago.edu/faculty/jing-chen-phd). Dr. Chuan He is the world leading pioneer of RNA modifications (epitranscriptomics) and DNA modifications (epigenetics) (https://he-group.uchicago.edu/index.html). We are looking for strong postdoctoral candidates who are interested in studying the biological and chemical metabolisms underlying the functional relationship between metabolites/nutrient and epigenetics/epitranscriptomics that is crucial for human health and cancers.  

Qualified applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in cancer biology, cell biology, chemical biology, biochemistry, or related fields. Candidates with experience in animal models are preferred but not required. Candidates should be highly self-motivated and demonstrate ability for innovative and rigorous scientific research (with record of publications in peer-reviewed journals).
