美国杰克逊哺乳动物遗传学实验室的Ke实验室博士后职位

　　美国杰克逊哺乳动物遗传学实验室的Ke实验室博士后职位

　　The Ke Lab has a postdoctoral associate opening at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine. Our research focuses on RNA, a central node of genetic information flow from DNA to protein (https://www.jax.org/research-and-faculty/faculty/shengdong-ke). Malfunction of RNAs leads to many human diseases, including neurological diseases and cancer. To thoroughly address fundamental molecular mechanisms of RNA genomics, we utilize multidisciplinary approaches, including computational biology, biochemistry, innovative biotechnologies, genetics, and molecular biology. We are especially interested in the fundamental mechanism of m6A RNA genomics, and regulation of m6A RNA genomics in neurological disease and cancer, using mouse and human iPS models.

　　About us:

　　The Jackson Laboratory (JAX, www.jax.org) is a nonprofit biomedical research institute with over 2,200 employees whose mission is to discover precise genomic solutions for human disease and empower the global biomedical community in the shared quest to improve human health. A National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center, JAX has a mammalian genetics headquarters in Bar Harbor, Maine, a facility in Sacramento, California, and a genomic medicine facility, The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine (JAX-GM), in Farmington, Connecticut.

　　The Jackson Laboratory’s 43-acre scenic Bar Harbor campus is nestled between the Gulf of Maine and the mountains of Acadia National Park. Some of the best hiking and biking in the world (over 50 square miles of mountains, lakes, views, and dramatic coastline) is accessible from our campus. We are one mile from downtown Bar Harbor, which offers a vibrant downtown district with a plethora of restaurants, shops, museums, and galleries.

　　JAX employees work in a collaborative, value-driven, and team-based environment where the focus is on advancing science and improving patients’ lives. Researchers apply genetics to increase the understanding of human disease and advance treatments and cures for cancer, neurological and immune disorders, diabetes, aging, and heart disease. JAX was voted among the top 15 “Best Places to Work in Academia” in the United States in a poll conducted by The Scientist magazine!

　　Our Values:

　　INTEGRITY – Courage and commitment to do what is right

　　PEOPLE – Inspiring our people to enhance the health of all

　　ONE TEAM – Unified by our promise to transform medicine and science

　　EXCELLENCE – Achieving world-class results

　　INNOVATION – Leading with discovery and creative solutions

　　STEWARDSHIP – Caring for and enhancing the resources entrusted to us

　　What do we have to offer?

　　JAX offers a dynamic and supportive work environment, competitive salaries, and a comprehensive benefits package, including a medical plan, outstanding retirement plan, generous paid time off, and tuition reimbursement including an MBA program. Our campus offers a fitness center with an award-winning wellness program, an onsite full service cafeteria, and a fully operational primary care facility available to employees and their families.

　　Most importantly, every position contributes to JAX’s mission of discovering precise genomic solutions for human disease and empowering the global biomedical community in our shared quest to improve human health.
