　　Postdoctoral Position in RNA and Chemical Biology, Immunotherapy, and Bioinformatics

　　Available immediately for highly motivated recent Ph.Ds and/or MDs with strong training in biochemistry, bioinformatics, immunology, molecular and cell biology, virology, medicinal chemistry or chemical biology to participate in the following projects involving multidisciplinary teams of clinicians and basic science investigators: (a) investigate RNA biology mechanisms in immunotherapy and immune exhaustion; (b) identify epitranscriptomics roles in regulating cancer and host-pathogen interactions by preforming biochemical and genomics studies; (c) mechanisms of CAR T cell therapy relapses and side effects; (d) develop and employ human embryonic stem cell derived cerebral organoids and cancer stem cell based disease models; (e) identification and synthesis of new drug candidates to treat cancer and viral infections. Technologies employed in our projects include CRISPR, RNAi, single cell genomics (scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq), bioinformatics, proteomics, HT RNA-seq, gene editing, in vitro and vivo models for immunotherapy to treat cancer and viral infections, computational drug design and synthesis. Strong publication record and training to perform independent research are required for further consideration. We highly value and encourage applications from minority groups. For examples of our multidisciplinary work and technologies used in our work, see https://ranalab.ucsd.edu and representative publications: Cell Reports. 2020 Jan 28;30(4):969-983.e4. doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2019.11.020.; EMBO J. 2019 Apr 15;38(8); MBio. 2019 Sep 24;10(5); Cancer Research, 2017Nov 15;77(22):6330-6339; Cell Stem Cell, 2016 Aug 4;19(2):258-65; Cell Host Microbe. 2016 Nov 9;20(5):666-673. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2016.10.002; Cancer Research, 2016 Oct 1;76(19):5777-5787.
