What is a Postdoctoral Fellow in DNA Damage?

A Postdoctoral Fellow in DNA Damage is a scientist who has recently completed their PhD and is conducting advanced research focused on understanding how DNA damage occurs, how cells detect and repair such damage, and the implications for diseases like cancer. These fellows typically work in academic or research institutions, contributing to ongoing projects, publishing scientific papers, and advancing knowledge in the field of DNA repair and genomic stability. The position is usually temporary, lasting 2-4 years, and is intended to provide further research experience and training before pursuing independent research or academic positions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Postdoctoral Fellow in DNA Damage, and why are they important?

To excel as a Postdoctoral Fellow in DNA Damage, you generally need a PhD in molecular biology, biochemistry, or a related field, with strong expertise in DNA repair mechanisms and molecular techniques. Familiarity with laboratory tools such as CRISPR/Cas9, next-generation sequencing platforms, and data analysis software (e.g., R or Python) is typically required. Exceptional problem-solving, teamwork, and scientific communication skills help candidates stand out in collaborative and research-driven environments. These skills and qualifications are crucial for conducting innovative research, publishing results, and advancing knowledge in genome stability and repair.

What are some common challenges faced by a Postdoctoral Fellow in DNA Damage research, and how can they be addressed?

Postdoctoral Fellows in DNA Damage research often encounter challenges such as troubleshooting complex experimental protocols, staying current with rapidly evolving technologies, and managing large datasets. Collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams—including molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, and clinicians—can help overcome these hurdles. Regular participation in lab meetings, scientific seminars, and skill-building workshops also supports continuous learning and problem-solving. Seeking mentorship and open communication with principal investigators further enhances professional growth and research productivity.

Job description

About the Lab

Omics techniques emerged as efficient and comprehensive approaches to profile bio-signatures in many biomedical fields at the resolution of cell molecules and tissue imaging pixels. Quantifying and interpreting these signatures from omics profiling face data challenges such as heterogeneities, noise/errors, large volume, context complexities, etc. Our lab (Dr. Teng Lab) in the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics focuses on developing statistical and machine learning methods to analyze, annotate and integrate complex omics datasets. We build open-source software to ease the data analysis across omics modalities. Particularly, our ongoing work in the lab addresses questions including: heterogeneity removal in genomic sequencing data, enhancer function dissection with large epigenomic data modeling, DNA oncovirus mechanisms with cross-modality integration, etc. Beyond ongoing focuses, we are also expanding the research in other topics: statistical modeling in spatial omics; AI models in translational pathology; machine learning in clonal hematopoiesis evolution, etc. We are commited to understanding human diseases like cancers through data science innovations. We are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow in omics data science to contribute to any of the topics above.

Ideal Postdoc Candidate:

  • Highly motivated and passionate about biomedical data science
  • Strong background in machine learning and/or statistics
  • Proficient programming and scientific writing
  • Experienced in omics data processing
  • Excellent comminucation skills

Minimum Qualifications:

  • A Ph.D. in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics or a related field.

How to Apply: Applicants should send a cover letter, a brief personal statement, current CV and contact information of three references to Dr. Mingxiang Teng (mingxiang.teng@moffitt.org)

Benefits

Moffitt Postdoctoral Fellows receive a competitive salary along with comprehensive benefits, including free medical coverage for themselves and subsidized coverage for dependents. Additional benefits include dental and vision insurance, paid time off, retirement plans, parental leave, and more. Eligible fellows may also receive relocation assistance in accordance with Moffitt’s policy.

City

Aside from the sunshine, beaches and year-round outdoor recreation associated with the Gulf Coast of Florida, Tampa is a thriving metropolitan city, which has become a hub for ground-breaking research, welcoming individuals from around the globe. This city is engulfed with rich culture, year-round activities for all, beautiful beaches, amazing cuisine and so much more.
