A full-time Postdoctoral position is immediately available from the laboratory of Dr. Jonathan Bromberg in the Center for Vascular and Inflammatory Diseases and Surgery department, at University of Maryland School of Medicine. The recently funded research project focuses on signaling pathways that control immune cell migration and cancer cell migration/metastasis, and their roles in cancer biology and therapy. The Dr. Jonathan Bromberg lab (https://www.medschool.umaryland.edu/surgery/Research-/Research-Divisions/Transplant-Surgery-Research/Jonathan-Bromberg-MD-PhD/) utilizes cellular, genetic approaches and next-generation sequencing methods to discover key determinants of immune cell migration and function. The molecular focus of the project is directed to NFkB signal pathway regulated genes related to tumor progression and migration/metastases. Specific cellular elements include regulatory suppressive T cells, effector T cells, vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells, stromal cells, and dendritic cell subsets. Techniques include heavy reliance on in vivo animal models, migration and trafficking assays.
Successful candidates with recent PhD in biology or life sciences will have lab research training in cell and molecular biology. Experience with mice tumor model (e.g., melanoma, breast cancer) is a plus, but not required.
Expectations: Funding is available for three years. Motivated self-starter with the ability to participate creatively in collaborative teams across the laboratory is most welcome.
To apply: Please send letter of interest, your contact information, CV, and list of three references to: Dr. Jonathan S. Bromberg: jbromberg@som.umaryland.edu or Dr. Wenji Piao: wpiao@som.umaryland.edu
