May 2024 – Multiple full-time openings for Postdoctoral Research Fellows and Graduate Research Assistants – Dr. Guizhi (Julian) Zhu Lab | University of Michigan

Dr. Guizhi (Julian) Zhu Lab in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences of University of Michigan has multiple full-time openings for Postdoctoral Research Fellows and Graduate Research Assistants.


Our research group recently joined the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Biointerfaces Institutes at the University of Michigan — Ann Arbor.


Openings

Multiple research openings in the lab for postdocs, graduate students, technicians or scientists (immunologists and chemists), and a lab manager, please contact us if interested! Email: guizhiz@med.umich.edu.

Funded by multiple million-dollar grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Defense (DoD), and American Cancer Society (ACS), multiple openings for postdocs, PhD/MS graduate students, technicians/chemists/biologists, and visiting students and scholars are available to work on projects in areas of mRNA vaccines, RNA editing, DNA/RNA immunotherapeutic for cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune diseases.

For postdocs and biologists, research experience in one or multiple areas of RNA biology or engineering, vaccine, drug/vaccine/nucleic acid delivery, gene editing, tumor therapy, and animal handling is preferred.

Prospective postdocs and visiting graduate students, please email CV/Research Experience/Research Plan in one PDF.

Multiple industry-funded openings of postdocs and biologists are expected in the coming months. Should you be interested in developing tumor therapeutic mRNA vaccines, please email CV/Research Experience in one PDF file.

About the Zhu Lab

With the overarching goal to develop novel and clinically translatable nucleic acid immunotherapeutics and vaccines, Zhu Lab’s research interest lies at the interface of RNA/DNA/protein chemistry and engineering, immunology, and applied chemistry and biomaterials. Our current focus is to develop circRNA/mRNA/oligonucleotide immunotherapeutics/vaccines and their delivery systems for the prophylaxis or immunotherapy of cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune disorders. We have published 100 papers including recent research articles in Science Advances and Nature Communications. Learn more about Dr. Guizhi (Julian) Zhu.
