Summary
Dr. Putluri's laboratory at Baylor College of Medicine is seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Fellow to join our multidisciplinary cancer research team. The lab is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate with strong expertise in cancer biology or molecular biology, and additional skills in bioinformatics/data analysis, to join our multidisciplinary research team at Baylor College of Medicine. The Postdoctoral Associate will work on cutting-edge translational cancer research projects involving tumor cell signaling, metabolic reprogramming, immuno-oncology, and therapeutic target identification. The lab focuses on understanding metabolic and molecular vulnerabilities driving cancer progression, therapeutic resistance, and tumor-immune interactions. This position offers opportunities to work with cutting-edge cancer models, 3D culture systems, and translational human samples. This position offers the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art platforms, including patient-derived models (PDXs), 3D organoids/spheroids, advanced molecular assays, and multi-omics datasets.
Baylor College of Medicine typically follows similar to the NIH stipulated stipend guidelines for Postdoctoral Associates.
Job Duties
  • Conducts in vitro cancer biology experiments, including 2D culture, 3D organoids, spheroids, and patient-derived models.
  • Performs CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene knockout (KO), siRNA/shRNA-mediated knockdown (KD), and validation of engineered cell lines.
  • Conducts the multi-omics data analysis including RNA-seq, proteomics, metabolomics, ChIP-seq, single-cell RNA-seq, and spatial data and multi-omics data integration.
  • Executes molecular and biochemical assays such as qPCR, Western blotting, ELISA, flow cytometry, and functional phenotyping.
  • Contributes to the generation and characterization of knockout (KO) mouse models, including colony maintenance, genotyping, and phenotypic analysis.
  • Performs mouse studies using immune-competent strains and immune-compromised NSG mice that includes tumor implantation, drug treatment, and immune profiling.
  • Establishes and monitors orthotopic xenograft models to study tumor growth and progression within relevant tissue microenvironments.
  • Conducts luciferase labeling of cancer cells and use bioluminescence imaging to trace tumor growth and metastasis in vivo.
  • Performs mechanistic studies examining cancer signaling pathways, cytokine biology, therapeutic resistance, and tumor metabolism.
  • Designs and executes xenograft, orthotopic, syngeneic, and PDX in vivo studies.
  • Develops and maintains 3D organoids/spheroids and support in vivo therapeutic testing.
  • Collaborates with experimental biologists, computational biologists, and clinicians to drive mechanistic and translational outputs.
  • Prepares manuscripts, figures, and grant-related materials, and organize data for grant/paper submissions.
  • Presents research findings at internal meetings and national/international conferences.
  • Mentor's students and support collaborative projects across laboratories.
  • Performs other job-related duties as assigned.

Minimum Qualifications
  • MD or Ph.D. in Basic Science, Health Science, or a related field.
  • No experience required.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Strong coding experience using R and Python for data analysis.
  • Expertise in the biological interpretation of multi-omics datasets (RNA-seq, proteomics, metabolomics, ChIP-seq, single-cell RNA-seq, and spatial data) and experience in multi-omics data integration.
  • Has the ability to develop algorithms and code for innovative multi-omics data analysis.
