Location Memphis, TN Category Postdoc Department Developmental Neurobiology Shift Weekday Day Position Type Full Time Scheduled Weekly Hours 40 Req # JR7949 Job Description A postdoctoral research associate position is available with Dr. Xinwei Cao. Project Description: This project investigates how transcriptional regulatory networks establish and maintain neural identity during brain development by activating appropriate neural gene programs while repressing alternative lineage programs. The work will combine mouse genetic models with genome-wide profiling and mechanistic assays to define how key transcriptional regulators engage cofactors and select cis-regulatory elements to control gene expression in neural progenitors. Findings are expected to reveal fundamental principles of cell fate specification and shed light on lineage infidelity during diseases such as cancer. Position Responsibilities: • Perform and...
