Tenure-Track Positions in RNA Biology at the NIH
RNA biologists are called to join the RNA Biology Laboratory (RBL) at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Frederick, MD, which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The RBL, formed in 2017, is the equivalent of a small department at an academic institution.
| |
|
The RNA Biology Laboratory's interests include, but are not limited to, RNA therapeutics; long noncoding RNAs; RNA modifications; RNA genomics and bioinformatics; RNA transport and visualization; mechanisms of RNA condensation and granule formation; and the ways in which altered RNA homeostasis results in diseases such as cancer.
Applicants are asked to apply via the NIH Stadtman Tenure Track Investigator program and select two areas that best describe their expertise. There will be a dedicated committee that reviews the applications of all applicants choosing “RNA Biology”.
These positions come with generous, highly competitive startup packages and stable funding. For further questions, email questions can email sandra.wolin@nih.gov.
Deadline is September 30, 2022
