This position provides the opportunity of strong mentorship and a close, multidisciplinary collaborative research environment.

Primary Responsibilities: Lead the state-of-the-art research using genetic mouse models for evaluating therapeutic efficacy, histology, and advanced imaging assays for glioblastoma research. Utilize murine and patient derived cell lines for in vitro modeling to examine tumor cell lipid metabolism. Prepare figures, manuscripts, abstracts, and grant submission materials for publication and/or presentation. Present research findings at lab meetings, institutional seminars, and conferences/symposiums. Mentor graduate students and/or junior trainees as appropriate.

Required Qualifications: Ph. D. in Neuroscience, Cancer Biology, Cell Biology, or in a comparable field or discipline. Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary research setting. Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Experience:

Prior research experience in: neuroscience, cell and molecular biology, cancer biology.
Experience in glioblastoma mouse models, signal transduction, metabolism, immunofluorescence/immunohistochemistry, organoid culturing, and genetic mouse model generation/maintenance.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
