Job Opportunities

The Dong Lab is seeking a highly motivated researcher at the technician, research assistant, or postdoctoral level to join our team studying extracellular vesicle (EV) RNA biology in Parkinson’s disease. We are part of an NIH-funded multi-center effort to build a large EV transcriptome resource.

Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in a relevant field (biology, neuroscience, molecular biology, etc.)
• Hands-on experience with RNA isolation and QC is required
• Experience with low-input RNA or RNA-seq is strongly preferred
• Strong organizational and communication skills; ability to work independently and in a team

To Apply: Please send your CV and a brief description of research experience to xianjun.dong@yale.edu.

Cloverleaf Bio is an early-stage therapeutics company that is developing a new class of engineered tRNA therapeutics. Our tRNAs target an underappreciated vulnerability of cancer: addiction to high levels of tRNA modifying enzymes. Cloverleaf’s approach to drugging tRNA modifying enzymes uses engineered “trojan horse” tRNAs to modulate translation in cancerous cells. The programmability, potency, and specificity of our tRNAs gives us the potential to dramatically improve cancer treatment.
