A postdoctoral position is immediately available in the department of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology to conduct research in cancer biology of colorectal tumorigenesis. This position will be responsible for conducting studies on novel genetic mouse model developed in our laboratory to study lipid signaling role in colonic tumorigenesis. Projects will include also the use of colon cancer cell culture models for in depth mechanistic studies of lipid signaling interaction with Wnt/B-catenin signaling.

The duties of this position include:
1. To conduct study design, experimentation, data collection, and data analysis.
2. To conduct experimental assays and perform data analysis to characterize novel genetic mouse models in regard to lipid and Wnt/catenin signaling.
3. To prepare manuscript and present data at national annual meetings.

Qualifications:
To be considered for this position you must have a Ph.D or equivalent doctorate degree.

Interested applicants should email a CV and research letter of interest to ishureiqi@mdanderson.org
