Positions available
The Novina lab is always looking for ambitious students and scientists to develop innovative technologies and accelerate their translation! The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a highly-collaborative and entrepreneurial team of clinicians and scientists. We are currently seeking PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and scientists to:
Lead a project investigating the biology, dysregulation, and development of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) for therapy. The Novina Lab has developed a high-throughput platform technology that discovers RNA function by systematically identifying the proteins that bind to an RNA of interest. These RNA-protein complexes can be novel targets for therapy. The Novina lab is seeking motivated candidates to study the role(s) of non-coding RNA functions how these candidates can be targeted for therapy. Currently the Novina Lab has programs on non-coding RNA candidates in cancer, bone marrow failure syndromes, immune-related diseases, and obesity. Candidates should have a PhD in molecular biology, immunology or related discipline with a strong expertise in RNA biology and biochemistry and a desire to model the translational potential of RNAs using advanced technologies. Ideal candidates will have prior experience in one or more of the disease areas listed above.
Lead a project developing novel therapeutic tools for epigenetic and epitranscriptomic engineering. The Novina Lab developed a tool for targeted DNA methylation by tethering a “split-fusion” DNA methyltransferase to an endonuclease-deficient mutant Cas9. The Novina lab has developed a next generation proprietary platform to therapeutically target the epigenome and epitranscriptome. The Novina lab is seeking a talented protein biochemist to develop, optimize, and translate this platform. Candidates should have a PhD in biochemistry, cell biology or related discipline with a strong expertise in gene regulation. Prior experience with epigenetics and transcriptomics is preferred.
Research technician for the CAR T cell project. The Novina Lab have engineered novel technologies that broaden the application of CAR T cell therapy by uncoupling tumor targeting from tumor killing through the use of artificial antigens. This position will assist scientists in performing scientific research and development of novel therapeutic tools for immunotherapy. Candidates should have bachelor's degree in immunology or biology.
Interested candidates for any of these positions should submit a cover letter and curriculum vitae to [email protected].
