Job Opportunity: Postdoctoral Fellowship, Cancer Microbiome, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN
Apply for the postdoctoral fellowship in the Markham Lab. The project opportunities extend from recent work identifying C. difficile as a component of the human colorectal cancer microenvironment. (Drewes, Chen, Markham, et al. 2022 Cancer Discovery).
Investigations examine the role of C. difficile toxins using mouse models of colonic neoplasia and human 3D organoids. Individuals with expertise in mouse modeling, tissue culture, and high-resolution microscopy are particularly desired. Familiarity with modern methods of high-dimensional computational analysis for multiplex spatial data is desirable. Experience working in teams and the ability to apply independent management skills are important. Long-term funding is secure, along with a highly competitive salary and fringe benefits.
