美国西北大学博士后职位招聘
We are looking for two talented and energetic postdoctoral fellows to join Dr.Yan Liu’s laboratory(https://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/faculty-profiles/az/profile.html?xid=50632)at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and Robert H.Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center,located in Chicago,IL.These positions are fully funded for multiple years.
The Liu laboratory is interested in investigating the molecular mechanisms governing normal and malignant hematopoiesis,with an emphasis on understanding hematopoietic stem cell(HSC)self-renewal and pathogenesis of myeloid malignancies,including clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential(CHIP),myelodysplastic syndromes(MDS)and acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Our long-term goals are to identify novel regulators of HSC self-renewal,understand the molecular mechanisms regulating their function,and develop novel therapeutic strategies to eliminate leukemia stem cells(LSCs)and improve leukemia treatment.
One of the projects in the Liu lab is to determine the role of tumor suppressor p53 in leukemogenesis and treatment.Our studies have led to multiple recent manuscripts,including two manuscripts currently in revision(Vemula et al.,Cancer Discovery,2022;and Chen et al.,Cancer Cell,2022).

4.Chen,S.,Wang,Q.,Yu,H.,Capitano,M.L.,Vemula,S.,Nabinger,S.C.,Gao,R.,Yao,C.,Kobayashi,M.,Geng,Z.,Fahey,A.,Henley,D.,Liu,S.Z.,Wolf,E.R.,Ramdas,B,Cai,Z.,Gao,H.,Luo,N.,Sun,Y.,Wong,T.N.,Link,D.C.,Liu,Y.,Boswell,H.S.,Mayo,L.D.,Huang,G,Kapur,R.,Yoder,M.C.,Broxmeyer,H.E.,Gao,Z.,and Liu,Y.Mutant p53 Drives Clonal Hematopoiesis through Modulating Epigenetic Pathway.Nature Communications,2019 Dec 11;10(1):5649.doi:10.1038/s41467-019-13542-2.PMID:31827082
The first postdoctoral fellow will determine the impact of mutant p53 proteins on transcription,chromatin accessibility,histone modifications,and 3D chromatin structure in hematopoietic stem cells and leukemia stem cells.
The second postdoctoral fellow will develop novel therapeutic approaches,including small molecule inhibitors and CAR-T therapy,for leukemia patients with p53 mutations.
Successful candidates should be highly motivated and have a recent Ph.D.degree with a background in molecular biology,biochemistry,epigenetics,and cancer research.
Applicants should have a strong publication record,creative thinking,effective oral and written communication skills,good team spirit,and a willingness to learn new techniques and approaches.
Preference will be given to candidates with strong first-author publications in high-impact peer-reviewed journals. 西北大学博士

WHO WE ARE
We utilize molecular,genetic,immunological,biochemical,and pharmacological approaches as well as unbiased genome wide studies,including RNA-seq,ChIP-seq,ATAC-seq,HiC,whole genome sequencing,CRISPR-Cas9-mediated screening in mammalian cells as well as proteomics studies,to investigate the molecular basis of HSC self-renewal and leukemogenesis.Specific relevant techniques include analysis of DNA,RNA,and proteins,flow cytometry,and experience with murine models and bone marrow samples from patients.
WHERE WE ARE
Our lab is on the fifth floor of the Robert H.Lurie Medical Research Center of Northwestern University in Chicago,IL,which is home to many of the elite biomedical researchers at Northwestern.The Lurie Center and the rest of the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine is located in the heart of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile,blocks away from beautiful Lake Michigan.
Interested candidates should send the following items to Dr.Yan Liu(yan.liu northwestern.edu)
A one-page cover letter describing areas of research interests and career goals
Curriculum vitae with bibliography
Contact information for 3 references

在美国，西北大学是人人皆知的名牌大学。该校创建于十九世纪，至今已有一百多年的历史。西北大学商学院，从1988年至1994年，六年蝉联美国各名牌大学商学院的排名第一位。西北大学位于美国伊利诺伊州的小镇埃文斯通。是莘莘学子们争相报考的学院，它招收严格，只录取最优秀的人才入内深造。西北大学的其他学院和专业也都大名鼎鼎，1998年的诺贝尔奖金获得者中，就有两位是西北大学的人。 一位是诺贝尔化学奖的得主之一波普尔，他是西北大学的教授；另一位是诺贝尔医学奖的得主之一、八十二岁的罗伯特·弗奇戈特教授，他是西北大学的毕业生在西北大学获得生物化学博士学位。美国硕士博士
西北大学这所被认为在中西部最为精英的顶级大学，是美国十大名校联盟中唯一的一所私立学校。虽不是常青藤联盟的成员，但比起在美国东部地区同等级的学校来说更专注于教学的实用性。与它邻近的竞争者芝加哥大学，以及除宾大外的所有常青藤学院相比，西北大学的教育更具有职业导向性。
