<div><div><b>Duties and Responsibilities</b></div>
<div>A Postdoctoral Fellow (&quot;&quot;postdoc&quot;&quot;) is a professional apprenticeship designed to provide recent Ph.D. recipients with an opportunity to develop further the research skills acquired in their doctoral programs or to learn new research techniques, in preparation for an academic or research career. In the process of further developing their own research skills, it is expected that Postdoctoral Fellows will also play a significant role in the performance of research at the University and augment the role of graduate faculty in providing research instruction to graduate students. A Postdoctoral Fellow works under the supervision of a regular faculty member, who serves as a mentor to the Fellow, and it is expected that the faculty mentor will impart the realities, and variety, of scientific careers, and will encourage experiences outside the laboratory to broaden postdocs&rsquo; aspirations. Within the confines of the particular research focus assigned by that faculty member, the Postdoctoral Fellow functions with a considerable degree of independence and has the freedom (and is expected) to publish the results of his or her research or scholarship during the period of appointment. Thus, the role of Postdoctoral Fellows is clearly differentiated from full-time technical employees.<br>
<br>
Postdoc appointments are characterized by all of the following conditions:<br>
<br>
<ul><li>the appointee was recently (within the last five years) awarded a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate (e.g., Sc.D., M.D.);</li><li>the appointment is temporary;</li><li>the appointment involves substantially full-time research or scholarship;</li><li>the appointment is viewed as preparatory for a full-time academic and/or research career;</li><li>the appointee works under the supervision of a faculty member; and</li><li>the appointee has the freedom and is expected to publish the results of his or her research or scholarship during the period of appointment.</li></ul><br>

<div><div><b>Other Work/Responsibilities</b></div>
<div><div>We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to participate in this project in collaboration with a group of collaborators with complementary expertise. This project intends to develop a new type of SRAM technology, namely FET-LET hybrid SRAM, an electronic-photonic integrated circuit in a signal-functional-unit level.<br>
<br>
The postdoctoral researcher will report to Dr. Yong Zhang and contribute to the project through original research, collaboration with team members, and mentoring of students. They will also play a key role in securing external funding by contributing to grant proposals.<br>
</div><div>While working closely with Dr. Zhang, the postdoctoral researcher will exercise a significant degree of independent judgment and original thinking in conducting research that contributes to new knowledge and enhances UNC Charlotte&rsquo;s reputation in research. Research findings, if appropriate, will be published in peer reviewed journals in collaboration with Dr. Zhang and other collaborators.<br>

Postdoctoral Fellow 2

<div><p>A Post-Doctoral Fellow position is available in Dr. Chih-Chi Andrew Hu&rsquo;s laboratory with a research focus on Immune Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Drug Discovery. This position focuses on the study of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated stress signaling molecules and their roles in survival, metastasis and chemoresistance of cancer. A key component of this effort is the identification and development of small molecules and peptides targeting the ER stress response pathways for the treatment of cancer. We are especially interested in candidates who are in the final stage of their doctoral training and have a strong background in protein chemistry (molecular cloning and column chromatography) and in the development of new biochemical assays during doctoral training. Applicants with experience in structural and chemical biology are desirable. Highly motivated applicants should send a cover letter, complete CV, and contact information for three references to the attention of Dr. Chih-Chi Andrew Hu at cahu@houstonmethodist.org

Jihyun Jang's Lab is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to investigate epitranscriptomic regulation in congenital heart disease, including pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy. Our lab focuses on how RNA modifications (e.g., m6A methylation) regulate cardiac development and disease progression. Using human iPSC-derived cardiac organoids and genetically engineered mouse models, we aim to define how post-transcriptional control of RNA metabolism shapes heart morphogenesis and contributes to congenital heart defects.</div><div></div><div>
