#  Postdoctoral Research Associate, BioMed Faculty Affairs, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology & Biochemistry @ Brown University 

 





March 17, 2026

 

 

The Vivian Cheung Lab at Brown University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our multidisciplinary team at the interface of RNA biology, neuroscience, and quantitative modeling.

As a key participant in the Human RNome Project, our lab is dedicated to the rigorous quantification and mechanistic discovery of how RNA modifications and dynamics govern human health. This project focuses on developing human iPSC-derived tri-culture organoid systems (neurons, astrocytes, and microglia) to investigate how transcriptional and co-transcriptional processes influence cellular interactions and neurodegenerative disease states.

**Our Lab Philosophy**

- **Rigorous & Mechanistic**: We move beyond descriptive observations to uncover the fundamental molecular "how" and "why."
- **Human-Centric**: We prioritize human biology and disease models to ensure our discoveries have a direct path toward clinical impact.
- **Supportive Mentorship**: Dr. Cheung provides a high-energy environment with a strong emphasis on professional development, independence, and collaborative success.
- **Multidisciplinary Reach**: Our work thrives on synergy, involving active collaborations across Brown University and global partners in Genetics, RNA Biology and Applied Mathematics.

**Key Responsibilities**

- **Experimental Development**: Establish and characterize complex 3D neural organoid models (incorporating neurons, astrocytes, and microglia).
- **Mechanistic Inquiry**: Use nascent RNA sequencing and molecular biology to study co-transcriptional dynamics and RNA-level regulation.
- **Quantitative Analysis**: Apply statistical and mathematical frameworks to interpret large-scale transcriptomic and kinetic datasets.
- **Collaborative Discovery**: Work across traditional disciplinary boundaries to integrate biological findings with quantitative models.
