月薪 44968元
台北市南港區
工作經歷不拘
【職務名稱 / Title】
Postdoctoral Fellow / Research Assistant : 2 Person
【工作內容 / Responsibilities】
Responsibilities for postdoctoral fellow:
• Leading independent research, design and carrying out well controlled, reproducible experiments which address well-developed hypotheses.
• Work closely with other team members and external collaborators.
• Present progress internally and externally through conferences.
• Writing manuscripts and assisting with grant applications.
Responsibilities for research assistant:
• Collaborating with team members to design and establish various biochemical assays, molecular biological techniques, mouse colony management and assist mouse-based experimental techniques when needed.
• Overseeing day-to-day lab operations, provide administrative support, maintenance of safety standards, restock and purchasing, databases and standard operating procedures, and general organization of the lab.
The Cheung Lab, relocating from the Francis Crick Institute (London, UK) to the Genomics Research Center (GRC), Academia Sinica (Taipei) in August 2025, is seeking highly motivated and creative researchers to join our team. In GRC, you will be joining a group of enthusiastic postdocs and PhD students with diverse expertise in cancer research and metabolism and will have access to state-of-the-art approaches and resources in GRC as well as other AS institutes.
Our goal is to understand how cancer cells communicate with their immediate microenvironment as well as distal host tissues and organs to regulate metabolic stress and redox homeostasis in tumours to facilitate growth and metastasis, focusing on pancreatic cancer (Cheung et al. PNAS 2024, Cheung and Vousden Nat Rev Cancer 2022, Cheung et al. Cancer Cell 2020, Cheung et al. Genes Dev 2016, Cheung et al. Developmental Cell 2013). We employ functional genomics, metabolomics, ex vivo organoid models, animal models of cancer, and single cell sequencing to uncover new mechanisms of disease and therapeutic targets. Our work seeks to reveal novel strategies that target both cancer cells and host tissues, offering a more refined, systemic approach to cancer treatment.
