Job Description

Postdoctoral positions are available to study mechanisms of epigenetic inheritance and cancer epigenetics in the Zhang Lab at Columbia University Irving Medical Center through bioinformatic analysis. The first long-term goal of our laboratory is to determine how chromatin states are inherited during S phase of the cell cycle and how this process when going awry, leads to genome instability. Specifically, the lab focuses on elucidating nucleosome assembly pathways are regulated using a variety of systems including yeast, mouse embryonic stem cells and human cells. Our second long-term goal is to determine how epigenetic changes drive tumorigenesis and drug resistance. The Zhang laboratory is one of the first laboratories that discovered how onco-histone mutations, H3K27M (found in diffuse intrinsic midline glioma (DMG)) and H3.3K36M (found in chondroblastoma and head and neck cancer), reprogram cancer epigenomes and drive tumorigenesis. We are looking for an outstanding individual with strong background in molecular biology and biochemistry, and cancer biology.
