About this position
Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, is hiring a Postdoctoral Associate in Leukemia Genomics. The postdoctoral researcher will conduct experimental validation studies on regulatory and noncoding mechanisms of oncogene deregulation, leukemia subtype biology, and treatment resistance.
The work integrates computationally nominated mechanisms with cell-based assays, molecular assays, CRISPR-based perturbation, reporter assays, chromatin and regulatory profiling, sequencing-based methods, and functional follow-up studies. Research topics include noncoding variants, structural rearrangements, chromatin accessibility, enhancer-promoter contacts, transcription-factor circuitry, cryptic regulatory alterations, and relapse-associated regulatory states.
The researcher will coordinate experiments with computational analysis teams, clinical sample workflows, and institutional cores; maintain reproducible laboratory records; interpret patient-derived genomic and multiomic data; and prepare figures, reports, abstracts, manuscripts, and presentations. The role may also include training or mentoring students, technicians, and junior trainees.
Applicants need an MD or PhD in basic science, health science, or a related field. Preferred backgrounds include molecular biology, cancer biology, genetics, genomics, hematology, or biomedical sciences, with relevant experience in leukemia biology, cell culture, molecular cloning, CRISPR, chromatin assays, sequencing, and experimental troubleshooting. The salary is $63,480–$64,356, with compensation typically aligned with NIH postdoctoral stipend guidelines. This is an onsite Monday–Friday position in Houston, Texas.
