We are seeking passionate individuals
to join our interdisciplinary team, which integrates computational biology,
molecular and cell biology, and biochemistry to explore the regulatory potential of
non-coding RNAs and their chemical modifications in transcription and chromatin
regulation. For more details, please refer to our recent publications in Nature (2024), Science
(2020, 2023), Nature
Cell Biology (2023), Nature Neuroscience
(2023), and
Cancer Cell (2023), which have
significantly advanced our understanding of regulatory non-coding RNAs—particularly
repeat RNAs and their modifications—in key biological processes such as embryonic
development, leukemia, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Our research aims to uncover the causes
and consequences of non-coding RNA dysregulation and their chemical modifications in
human diseases, with a particular focus on neurodegenerative disorders, aging, and
cancer. Our ultimate goal is to identify novel RNA molecular targeting principles or
targets and develop innovative strategies for disease prevention, diagnosis, and
treatment.
We are actively recruiting
great people with either wet lab or dry lab backgrounds to join our team!
For Research Associate and Postdoctoral candidates, please
email Dr. Xiaoyang Dou directly with your CV, a cover letter describing your past
research and future research goals, and the contact information of three references.
For Research Assistant candidates,
please email Dr. Xiaoyang Dou directly with your CV, a cover letter describing your
past research experience and future research goals, and the contact information of
two references. Research Assistant candidates will also have the opportunity to
apply for a Ph.D. program.
Successful applicants should have a
research background in biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, or related fields
(wet lab); or in bioinformatics, computational biology, statistics, or related
fields (dry lab). Expertise in neurobiology or cancer biology or related fields is
highly desirable. Applicants should demonstrate a strong passion for scientific
research, a collaborative spirit, and excellent scientific communication skills.
