Postdoctoral Fellow Position

A postdoctoral position is available in a new lab at the Department of Cancer Biology of the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute. The focuses of the lab are: 1) Identifying novel mechanisms of how pVHL, a major tumor suppressor in kidney cancer, inhibits tumor formation (for reference, see Yang et al., Cell Growth Differ. 2001 Sep;12(9):447-55; Yang et al., Mol Cell. 2007 Oct 12;28(1):15-27); 2) Elucidating how oncological and other pathological changes promote angiogenesis; 3) Determine how kidney cancer treated with anti-angiogenesis drugs (sunitinib, sorafenib) develop drug resistance. The works present excellent learning opportunities since they involve molecular biology techniques, small hairpin RNA for gene silencing, orthotopic tumor model and in vivo imaging, and extensive interactions with physicians at the Taussig Cancer Center of Cleveland Clinic.

Cleveland Clinic has been ranked the 3rd Best Hospital in the United States by U.S. News and World Report for many years. Lerner Research Institute is one of the top 10 in NIH funded Research Institutes in the U.S. (Total Research Funding: 239 Million in 2007). Cleveland has many excellent attractions (Cultural, Sports, Natural, etc) with affordable living costs. The applicant is expected to be highly motivated, well trained in molecular biology techniques and have a basic understanding of cancer research.
