Postdoc/research associate recruitment
The University of Macau (www.umac.mo) is the only public university in Macau, SAR China and have a brand new campus with state-of-art design and investment. Also, UM has started to focus on research in both basic and applied fields and is on the fast track of development from an education oriented university to research oriented university. The recent launched faculty of health sciences (FHS) has been equipped with top level laboratories and will provide exceptional core facilities, including next generation sequencing, proteomics, metabolomics, drug discovery, advanced imaging, bioinformatics, histology, flow cytometry, mouse engineering and facility etc. The first batch of scholars is all recruited from world level institutes and universities such as NIH/USA, CUHK/Hong Kong, John Hopkins/USA, Oxford/British, and NUS/Singapore etc. These Top level Scientists have either well established research record with reputation in several research fields or great potential of development. Importantly, the new faculty is well-funded by direct funding support from university and extramural funding opportunity from Macau Fundation. Combining together, these unchallengeable advantages provide an exceptional environment in which to pursue basic and translational research programs in biomedical sciences.
Dr. Lijun Di, Assistant professor of FHS, mainly focus on the research of transcriptional regulation of gene epression by addressing the mechanism of transcription and gene expression regulation network. Also, Dr. Di applied the gene transcription regulation to disease related mechanisms. For instance, he has made important findings in breast cancer research by discovering the molecular connection between metabolic diseases such as obesity or diabetes and breast cancer risk. Dr. Di also illustrated the transcriptional regulation mechanism of CtBP, a common cofactor of transcription regulation, and its important role in breast cancer development (Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2010 Dec;17(12):1406-13; Nat Commun. 2013;4:1449). The current on-going projects focus on disease related gene expression regulation centered on CtBP and BRCA1. The techniques required for these projects include basic molecular biology methods, high throughput deep sequencing, cell biological assays, cell imaging, histology, and mouse engineering related works. Therefore, the successful candidate need to be self-motivated, collaborative, and with the ability to learn new things quickly.
The position will be faculty-funded post-doctoral position with possibility to change to relatively stable research associate position. The salary will be between US$30,000 and US$33,000 depending on the experiences. Also, the living cost in Macau is relatively low without income tax, comparing to most of the industrial countries including USA, Japan etc. The successful candidates will hold PhD degree (or will) in relevant fields and is expected to have publications on first class journals in his/her research field. The candidate should have experiences in molecular biology and biochemistry research field. Further experience in cancer biology or bioinformatics will be considered at a higher priority. The successful candidate will be expected to maximise publication output as first author.
Informal enquiries can be directed to Dr. Lijun Di (lijundi@umac.mo). The information will be in effect until the position is filled. You are also encouraged to submit your resume to dionhuang@umac.mo for other lab positions.
