Postdoctoral Positions to Investigate RNA Subcellular Localization
February 15, 2023
Two postdoctoral positions are available in Furqan Fazal’s lab in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) to study the organization of RNAs within cells. The Fazal Lab focuses on systematically interrogating the subcellular transcriptomes of mammalian cells and characterizing the scope, regulation, and function of subcellular localization, particularly at the systems and organismal level. Lab interests span from computational to wet-lab work, though the ideal candidate should have experience in molecular biology, RNA biology, cell biology, and/or informatics. We use a variety of biochemical, biophysical, imaging, genomic and computational approaches to investigate the sequence-function relationship dictating RNA localization.

Senior Scientist – Regulatory Noncoding RNAs
February 6, 2023
The Laboratory of Dr. Ben Kleavland in the Department Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Weill-Cornell is recruiting a senior scientist to help investigate regulatory noncoding RNAs.
