1. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Our group is expanding and we are seeking to fill two post-doctoral positions. We study the functions of human and viral non-coding RNAs in a tumorigenic virus in order to identify pathways instrumental to viral pathogenesis and potentially lead to discovery of novel antiviral and anti-tumor targets. Currently, we are studying the functional significance of a subset of circular RNAs and human genes that are differentially regulated by viral infection. Some non-coding RNA functions of interest include: regulation of infection, immune evasion, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
2. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Postdoctoral fellow positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Travis Stracker in the Radiation Oncology Branch at the Center for Cancer Research (CCR), National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland. The major focus of the lab is to understand DNA damage induced signaling in cancer and identify targetable vulnerabilities that can be used in therapy. The lab will take multiple approaches, ranging from genome-wide CRISR/Cas9 screening, quantitative proteomics and imaging based screening to identify and validate new cancer targets.

3. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Interactions between epithelial and endothelial cells in the lung alveolus are required to establish the gas exchange interface and mediate the critical function of the lung: transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the external environment. Incomplete lung development, acute or chronic respiratory diseases, and lung cancer disrupt this interface and are leading causes of death worldwide. A recent longitudinal analysis of the regenerative response of the lung alveolus to influenza infection has demonstrated that the cellular compartments of the lung respond differently to injury and that the timing and extent of cellular interactions across the alveolus likely determine the success or failure of regeneration.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
4. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Multiple post-doctoral positions are available with Dr. Lisa Boxer in the Laboratory of Genome Integrity to study chromatin regulation of neuronal development. The Boxer lab uses molecular and genomic approaches to study how mutations in chromatin regulators disrupt neuronal gene expression and lead to neurodevelopmental disorders and cancer. Dr. Boxer is part of a highly integrated, interactive and collaborative research environment that provides an ideal training and mentoring setting for young scientists. Her research group will be adjacent to the laboratories of Branch Chief Andre Nussenzweig, Senior Investigators Eros Lazzerini Denchi and Avinash Bhandoola, and Stadtman Investigator Sergio Ruiz Macias.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
5. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Cook Lab research is investigating cellular interactions within the tumor bone microenvironment that contribute to tumor progression, with a specific focus on neutrophil-tumor interactions. Within bone, metastatic cancer cells highjack the normal couple process of bone remodeling, resulting in excess bone degradation and subsequent release of growth factors that promote tumor growth. Additionally, cancer cells progress and mediate bone turnover through molecular and cellular interactions with the surrounding bone stroma. The Cook lab is using a combination of transcriptome and proteomic profiling of patient samples and mouse in vivo models of bone metastasis along with sophisticated bone and live-cell imaging tools.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
6. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A postdoctoral position is open for an exciting project focused on the role of redox metabolism on prostate cancer and stromal cells in metastatic prostate cancer. The Cook Lab research is investigating cellular interactions within the tumor bone microenvironment that contribute to tumor progression, with a specific focus on neutrophil-tumor interactions. Within bone, metastatic cancer cells highjack the normal couple process of bone remodeling, resulting in excess bone degradation and subsequent release of growth factors that promote tumor growth. Additionally, cancer cells progress and mediate bone turnover through molecular and cellular interactions with the surrounding bone stroma.

7. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A biologist position is available with Dr. Lisa Boxer in the Laboratory of Genome Integrity at the CCR, NCI. The Boxer lab uses molecular and genomic approaches to study how mutations in chromatin regulators disrupt neuronal gene expression and lead to neurodevelopmental disorders and cancer. The applicant will oversee the lab’s mouse colony and set up breedings and genotype mice as needed. The applicant should also have significant hands-on experience with molecular and cellular biology techniques such as primary cell culture, nucleic acid manipulations, and protein analysis.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
8. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A Postdoctoral position is available beginning in mid-to-late summer in the Surgical Oncology Program, CCR, NCI. Our group, the Laboratory of Neuro-Endocrine Cancer Diagnostics and Therapy is seeking a motivated Postdoctoral fellow interested in working at the interface of the application of novel therapeutic development and primary model development. Our laboratory program is dedicated to studying the behavior and growth of aggressive endocrine cancer and identifying novel and effective targeted therapies for personalized treatment of metastatic endocrine cancers.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
9. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A postdoctoral position is available in the Viral Recombination Section (VRS), HIV Dynamics and Replication Program (HIV DRP), Center for Cancer Research (CCR). The VRS studies retroviral replication using human immunodeficiency viruses and other retroviruses, with a particular emphasis on the mechanisms of viral RNA biology, specific RNA packaging, virus assembly, and HIV replication. Molecular tools and advanced imaging approaches are used to dissect various aspects of viral replication mechanisms.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
10. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A fully funded postdoctoral position for an experimental biologist is available in Dr. Michael Aregger’s Functional Genomics Section within the Molecular Targets Program at the CCR, NCI, NIH. Our group’s research focuses on how cancer cells rewire gene expression and metabolism to adapt to changing environmental conditions. We apply CRISPR-based genome engineering tools and functional genomics approaches to reveal genetic interactions and cancer dependencies, and to identify regulators of metabolic plasticity in cancer cells.
