A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Weibo Luo at the UT Southwestern Medical Center(https://labs.utsouthwestern.edu/luo-weibo-lab) to study brain development and disease using various state-of-the-art techniques including next generation sequencing, metabolomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and neuroscience. We are seeking highly motivated candidates with a PhD or MD/PhD. Interested candidates must have 1) a strong background in biochemistry, molecular biology, and neuroscience, 2) a strong publication record, and 3) good communication skills. Experience with bioinformatics is a plus. Competitive salary and benefits are offered.

The Luo Lab studies epigenetic and metabolic alterations in development, tumorigenesis, and neurodegeneration with a goal of identifying vulnerability to treat cancers or neurological diseases. We utilize in vitro and in vivo models including genetic mouse models, patient-derived xenograft models, and organoid models in our studies. Currently, our research is supported by grants from NCI, DoD, CPRIT, and ACS. Please visit our lab webpage or contact Dr. Luo for details about our research and research team.
