7. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Melo-Cardenas Laboratory in the Pathology Department is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to study inflammation and blood cancers. Specifically, our research focuses on understanding the regulators of inflammatory signaling in hematopoietic cells, both in normal and malignant conditions. By leveraging advanced technologies, mouse models, and patient samples, we aim to discover new therapeutic strategies to slow the progression of hematological cancers.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
8. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The postdoctoral scholar will work with the principal investigator, Dr. Linda Teplin, and co-Investigators, Drs. Karen Abram, Leah Welty, and Sara Thomas, on three projects: (1) the Northwestern Juvenile Project, a 30-year longitudinal study of health needs and outcomes of 1829 youth in juvenile detention; (2) Next Generation, an intergenerational component added to the Northwestern Juvenile Project, which examines intergenerational patterns in substance use disorders, delinquency and firearm involvement, as well as the effects of parents’ incarceration on children; and (3) a newly-funded extension of the Northwestern Juvenile Project that will examine the long-term consequences of incarceration for health (among participants now median age 43).
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled

11. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Sita Laboratory at the Malnati Brain Tumor Institute in Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University has an opening for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to work in the field of Cancer Neuroscience. Specifically, research efforts will be focused on how glioblastoma (GBM) electrically integrates into healthy neuronal circuits to promote tumor growth, invasion, and therapeutic resistance. Together, we will explore translational electrical modulatory approaches to disassemble GBM tumor networks and render GBM cells exquisitely sensitize to chemotherapy and ionizing radiotherapy.
